Reflexive Verbs with -СЯ | Russian Language 

ся=себя Fedor just blew my mind!

You showed the keyword себя at the end and everything got whole alotta easier. When you're teaching russian you also teach meanings of roots unlike others just Making you try to remember all with no reason. That's why i know you're the best russian teacher in youtube.

OMG IS THAT WHY 'TO TEACH' IN RUSSIAN IS УЧИТЬ AND 'TO STUDY' IS УЧИТЬСЯ ? CAUSE STUDYING IS LIKE TEACHING ONESELF I'M MIND BLOWN

Best explanation I've ever seen on this topic. Wish I had seen this a few years ago when I was first learning reflexive verbs!

I know this is an old vid but ся is the same as se/si in Roman languages like Italian and Spanish, hope it helps

Perfect example: себя ==> ся. Спасибо большое.

when I search for russian tutorials, I always scroll down until i see this godly channel!

I have just recently started learning Russian and this video has been so helpful. I could not figure out why, in the exercises a word spelling would change and the СЯ would replace the former ending of the word from the lesson. It was very frustrating when the lesson did not explain the reason for the spelling change. Really clears things up! Thankful to have found your videos. You are pretty clear and concise in your explanations.

You are amazing! You clarify so many subjects that have puzzled me for years!

I've been studying reflexive verbs for hours and understood nothing but thanks to Fedor,i got it now❤ brief and best explanation

You are an awesome teacher!!!

This massively improves my understanding of Russian in a single video, superb

Excellent video. Thanks Fedor!

Such a great instructor. i finally get it with the ся being an abbreviation of себя. i hope that i can get his lessons from beginning to end to make sure the cases make sense.

Ты прав для ся это короче от себя мы в сербском пользуем се, короче от себе - себя!

Hello Fedor. First off, thank you for the superb lessons, they are really helping me take my Russian to the next level. I will get myself another keyboard with the Russian layout sometime soon. Btw, which is the more "common" layout, why are there two totally different layouts? Being Slavic myself (Slovenian), I have noticed the -СЯ very soon because for me it was just another proof of how Russians really like to keep things simple. And I love it :D To quickly elaborate, in Slovenian we say reflexive verbs the SAME WAY, only that we write the auxiliary (is this the correct term?) verb separately from the verb itself. Example: Oblačim se. (I am getting dressed). "Se" is short for "sebe" (oneself). So you were right in believing what you did :D This has been one of the key factors that tipped my scale to start investing time in learning Russian. I find the simplicity of it, writing and considering it as one single word, simply (haha) pleasing. There are other examples like this as well. Kind regards, lep pozdrav!

Thanks this was very helpful, I was wondering what the verbs ending in Ся were about. Today is my sixth day learning russian and so far I have (mostly) memorized 250 words.

great video as usual..

Great lesson. It may have been 5 years since posting these, but they’re still helpful to people just starting to study Russian. I connect so much with learning the logic behind the language, and feel comforted when a native speaker can assure you there’s no logic to be found and that you just need to go with it (like your take on the neuter gender in the video on gendered nouns). English has so much of that, it would be hypocritical to expect other languages to use the most efficient and unbroken rules.

Thank you soo mcuh

Great video

you amazing!!

Brilliant.

Thanks.

Thanks

Hi, could you make top 25 most commonly used reflexive words/verbs.

Спасибо тебе за помощь. Из Индии 🇮🇳

So it can be the Russian equivalent of zich/zichzelf in Dutch? This is helpful, спасибо!

Very good.

I am a teacher, so take it from me, he had put in elbow grease in his work. And he is still doing it

it's like in spanish.. makes sense to me

The jeweled self dribbling basketball is relevant here.

ся is something near "self" i guess. But not it exactly. Also here mb someone need: "Себя" or "Меня" - myself (difference: себя is when i do something with myself like "я помыл(have wash) себя" or someone do something with himself "он помыл себя" ; меня is when someone do something to ME only "он накормил (has feed) меня") So in most cases "ся" is reduction from "себя". "Я помылся" or "Он помылся" has same value with "Я помыл себя" or "Он помыл себя". But still ся not always mean себя... Its really hard to explain tho... Really.

Спасибо хорошего работы

Spasibo

Perfect

You are an amazing teacher, very clear and creative as well

This is an amazing explanation! I love your videos, they always make learning Russian so much easier! I do have a question though. Would the sentence я думаю тебя ошибается be correct? I just want to make sure because I made this sentence on my own and if I made a mistake I'd want to fix it immediately so I don't make it again in the future.

Fedor these videos are simply wonderful. I would like to suggest to you that your explain intransitive verb category 2 as being like what is known as passive voice. The door was opened, the csr was driven, the ship was sunk etc. in which we either do not know who is doing the action or do not wish to state it. So no subject = no identifiable agent acting on the object. But, another example of the wonderful subtlety of language, if you say “the ship was sunk”, it means that it was definitely caused by something, if you say “the ship sank”, it is a little different. Clearly there must have been a cause, but you are referring to just the physical action of the ship. In general is the relexive suffix the way passive voice is handled in russian?

Оооо, he's so cuutttteee

Many strange situation in some language You can understand in retrospect. If You'll find some very old notes in old Russian language, You can find "ся" not like part of words, but like single word after verbs. Ся was is old short form of modern word себя.

Question: In English, we can say, "I'm thinking". There is no object in this case. But in Russian, is it not acceptable to say simply, "Я думаю"? Why is this is not in a reflexive form? Thanks.

У нас, в Рязани, запросто говорят "паркуюся", "злюся", "вернувшися", "поднимаюся"

how have i just now found this channel????

CR Spanish has the same verb structure with se. Spanish and russian both originate fron Latin language.

I agree with the other comments. Easiest explanation I've seen for this. You are AWESOME!!!!!!! Keep the vids coming

Привет !) сможешь рассказать о глаголе СВ и НСВ ? Я начал заниматься русском 7 месяцев назад

I have two questions, 1) How do you know whether ся is referring to ones self or an ongoing process? From what I can tell they are the same, so context is needed. 2) What if you wanted to omit the object but then would adding ся change it? For instance, я вижу, because it does not have an object, do I need to add ся? Thanks!

9:29 mind blown

👌👌❤️❤️

is this sentence correct : фильм начался пять минут назад 🙄🙄🙄

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Best ever …… guys, follow the befluent camp ! It’s g r e a t

in 2 second : Conjugate the verb in the normal way then.. Add “сь” when the verb ends in a vowel. Add “ся” when it does not end in a vowel.

😍😍😍😍😍😍

I understand what you're trying to explain However I've heard this in a song: "Сам директор закупался у меня." Does 'у меня' have any effect on 'ся'? Or does 'сам' automatically qualify for the verb to have 'ся'?

Is it possible to turn a verb into reflexive by changing the ending? Or is their a set group of verbs that just happen to be reflexive?

Can "-ся" be used when you say "I'm eating"?

So is it possible to add 'сь' to the end of 'я думаю' when saying I am thinking to myself?

Should i apply сь и ся everytime you ask about yourself?

I don't quite understand the "Meaning To Be" verbs. Can somebody help me out with this please?

The real HU 💯

I have a question.... ,Тесь или тся concerning male and female forms ... Explain? Pleeeease.

Would intransitive also be used with a sentence like “Im running”?
