[GRAMM] verbs - reflexive particle verbs

Post by Basler Biker »

Reflexive particle verbs

Verbs can be both particle verbs and reflexive at the same time. In that case, what is said above about both those things apply to them. Some examples are
tar med sig literally 'takes with oneself' means brings in the sense someone of taking something with them
har med sig literally 'has with oneself', means brings in the sense of someone having something with them
tar av sig literally 'takes off oneself', used for taking off clothes
delar med sig literally 'parts with oneself', means shares – Hon delar med sig av sin mat = 'She shares her food'.
The particle can also come last, as in bryr sig om (literally: 'worries oneself about')- 'cares': Bryr du dig om mig? - 'Do you care about me?'
