Объяснение
A verb form expressing an action or state that takes place on the doer himself is in the reflexive voice. It is formed by adding -(i)n or -(i)l to the stem: -n or -l after a vowel, -in or -il after a consonant: tara+n = taran, yuv+in = yuvin, kiy+in = kiyin, sev+in = sevin. In the reflexive the doer acts on himself: yuvindi — washed himself, kiyindi — dressed himself. Sometimes the reflexive form expresses a feeling: sevindi (rejoiced), quvondi (was glad).
Примеры
The child washed (himself). The girl combed (her own hair).
We were glad. They got dressed.
Работа в классе
