Answer from Bogdan Shpilevoy[active]
Verbs with the word-forming suffix -sya are called reflexive: learn, laugh. Most of them are formed from verbs without -sya (cook ® prepare), but there are also reflexive verbs that do not have this correspondence (to be afraid, to be proud, to be lazy, to hope, to like, to laugh, to doubt, etc.).

Refundability/non-refundability
Verbs with the word-forming suffix -sya are called reflexive: learn, laugh. Most of them are formed from verbs without -sya (cook ® prepare), but there are also reflexive verbs that do not have this correspondence (to be afraid, to be proud, to be lazy, to hope, to like, to laugh, to doubt, etc.).
Reflexive verbs can convey the following meanings:
1) the subject’s action is directed towards himself: to wash, comb his hair, tune in, humiliate himself; These verbs can usually be converted into a construction from themselves;
2) actions of several subjects directed at each other, each of which is both the subject and the object of a similar action: making peace, meeting, kissing;
3) the action is performed by the subject in his own interests: build (build a house for himself), pack (pack his things); it is possible to rebuild in a design with for yourself, for yourself;
4) the action of the subject, closed in the sphere of his state: worry, rejoice, get angry, have fun; worry;
5) potential active sign of the subject: the dog bites (may bite);
6) potential passive sign of an object: glass breaks (may break);
7) impersonality - to like, to be unwell, to get dark.
The question of the meaning of reflexive verbs is raised only in complex 2, where among the indicated meanings the “passive meaning” is described: the house is being built by masons. In linguistics, constructions of this kind are more often described as a personal form of the passive voice. A verb is in the passive voice if its subject position is a noun with the meaning of an object, not a subject of the action. However, in all three educational complexes morphological feature voice is allocated only for participles, therefore, according to school grammar, any verb with -sya is an independent word.

Answer from Matvey Dokukin[newbie]
Verbs with the word-forming suffix -sya are called reflexive: learn, laugh. Most of them are formed from verbs without -sya (cook ® prepare), but there are also reflexive verbs that do not have this correspondence (to be afraid, to be proud, to be lazy, to hope, to like, to laugh, to doubt, etc.).

Answer from Ksenia Dyachkova[newbie]
Reflexive verbs are those that answer the question (what should I do?), and non-reflexive verbs that answer the question (what should I do?)

Basic meanings of postfix – xia

IN depending on the presence or absence of the return postfix -sia- verbs are divided into returnable and non-refundable.

Refundable- these are verbs that have a postfix -sya- (-s-).

For example:

swim, smile, hope

Non-refundable- these are verbs that do not have a postfix -sya- (-s-).

Some verbs in modern Russian have correlative pairs according to the category of reflexivity - non-reflexivity.

Exercise:

Compare:

dress - get dressed, bathe - swim, see - see

Other verbs do not have such correlative pairs.

Exercise:

Compare:

smile, hope, tumble;

go, sit down, freeze

Return postfix -sya- (-s-) can give different verb forms semantic meanings :

1) Self-return value , when the subject and the object to which the action is directed coincide in one person ( wash, bathe, dress).

For example:

I wash my face

2) Reciprocal value , when each of the two actors acts simultaneously as both a subject and an object.

For example:

1. Friends met and hugged brotherly.

2. And new friends, well, hug, well, kiss

3) Return value , when the action does not transfer to anyone, but is confined to the subject himself.

For example:

He got angry.

We're offended

Such verbs, as a rule, express internal mental condition person.

4) Objectless return value e, when the action being spoken of is a property of the given subject.

For example:

The dog bites.

The cow is butting.

The cat is scratching.

Nettle stings

Schoolchildren and linguistic students need to be able to correctly determine the reflexivity of verbs. This is required to complete morphological analysis, competent presentation of thoughts. There are a number of nuances that should be taken into account when determining the reflexivity of a verb. It is not enough to simply remember that the reflexive verb ends in –sya or –sya: this method of analysis causes regular errors. It is important to understand the uniqueness of this morphological category of the verb.

Reflexivity as a verb category
To correctly determine the reflexivity of a verb, you need to know exactly the features of the category under study.

Reflexive verbs are a specific type intransitive verbs. They denote an action directed by the subject towards himself and have a postfix – xia. The postfix –sya is part of a word that reflects historical changes Russian language. IN Old Slavonic language the postfix denoted the word “oneself”, performing the functions of a pronoun.

You definitely need to know that the reflexivity of a verb is directly related to the morphological category of transitivity. First, find out whether the verb is transitive. You need to remember: determining the reflexivity of a verb takes time and should be based on an analysis of the word. The presence of the postfix –sya does not guarantee that there is a reflexive verb before you.

Algorithm for determining verb reflexivity
It is advisable to determine the reflexivity of a verb according to a specific scheme, then the likelihood of errors will noticeably decrease. You will need to be familiar with the basic terms used in the Russian language course.

1. First, determine the transitivity category of the verb. Remember the signs of transitivity and intransitivity of a verb:
   • A transitive verb denotes an action directed at oneself (the subject). It can be freely combined with a noun that is in the accusative case, without a preposition. For example, do (what?) a task. To do is a transitive verb because it is combined with a noun without a preposition, and the noun is in the accusative case. To determine transitivity, simply model a phrase where there is a noun in the accusative case dependent on the verb being analyzed.
     
   • Intransitive verbs denote actions that do not transfer to an object. Nouns cannot be combined with such verbs in the accusative case without a preposition.
     
2. If the verb is transitive, it is not reflexive. The repayment category for it has already been determined at this stage.
   
3. If the verb is intransitive, you need to continue analyzing it.
   
4. Pay attention to the postfix. The postfix –sya is a mandatory sign of a reflexive verb.
   
5. All reflexive verbs are divided into 5 types.
   • Reflexive verbs are needed to express changes emotional state subject, his physical actions. For example, rejoice, hurry.
     
   • Verbs from the group of proper reflexives denote an action directed at the subject. Thus, one person becomes object and subject. For example, dressing up means dressing yourself up.
     
   • Reciprocal verbs denote actions performed between several subjects. Each subject is simultaneously an object of action, that is, the action is transferred to each other. For example, to meet - to meet each other.
     
   • Verbs from the group of objectless-reflexive verbs denote actions that are constantly inherent in the subject. For example, metal melts.
     
   • Indirect reflexive verbs imply actions performed by the subject in his own interests, for himself. For example, stocking up on things.
     
   Try to determine what type the verb is. The reflexive verb must be included in one of the groups.
   
6. Please note: the postfix -sya is not always a sign of a reflexive verb. Check if the verb belongs to one of the groups:
   • Transitive verbs reflecting the intensity of the action. For example, knocking. Postfix increases intensity.
     
   • Verbs with impersonal meaning. For example, I can’t sleep.
     

If a verb is included in one of the groups, it is not reflexive.

If a verb does not fit into any type from paragraph 6, but clearly belongs to one of the groups in paragraph 5, it has a reflexivity category.

Non-refundable verbs are verbs without the postfix –sya; returnable– verbs with the postfix –sya. Historically, the formation of reflexive verbs is associated with the pronoun Xia, which was originally attached only to transitive verbs ( wash + xia (“yourself”) = wash).

All verbs in Russian can be divided into several groups:

irreflexive verbs, from which returns are formed	non-refundable	returnable
a) wash + wash build + xia education return different forms meet + xia b) turn white + xia darken + xia – morphological synonyms c) look - look enough verbs work - get enough SD d) write - impersonal is not written sleep - can't sleep verbs	reply lunch	fight laugh balk

Thus, we can conclude that the postfix –sya in the Russian language can perform several functions:

Form reflexive forms of verbs ( wash, whiten);

Form reflexive verbs that differ from producing non-reflexive verbs lexical meaning (forgive - say goodbye, finish - achieve).

It should be noted that some verbs in –sya have a synonymous reflexive combination ( to deprive - to deprive oneself, to cover oneself - to cover oneself).

The division of verbs into non-reflexive and reflexive was established in the Russian language without regard to the division of verbs into transitive and intransitive, voice and non-voice. It does not completely coincide with either one or the other, although it is associated with the categories of transitivity and voice: the affix –sya is an indicator of the intransitivity of the verb, and voice correlation is provided only by the reflexive forms of the verb.

Pledge category

The category of voice is one of the most difficult problems of Russian grammar. Linguistic scientists define the content of this category differently, and therefore resolve the issue of the number of voices differently: some count up to 17 voices, others deny the presence of voices altogether.

In Russian linguistics there are the following definitions of voice:

1) pledge means “an act that passes from one thing to another, and an act that does not pass from one thing to another” (Lomonosov);

2) pledges are such verb forms, which denote the difference in the relationship of the verbal action to its subject. On this basis, a refundable deposit can be allocated ( the book is being read) and non-refundable deposit ( read a book) – Aksakov, Fortunatov;

3) pledge is the relation of action to object (Buslaev, Shapiro);

4) pledge is an expression of the asset and liability of the subject (Isachenko, AG-70);

5) deposit – is the relation of action to subject and object(Vinogradov, Golovin, Gvozdev, Shansky).

In all of the above definitions of collateral there is a common criterion - the relation of the action to the subject and object. This feature is, indeed, important in voice content, since voice, like other verbal categories, manifests itself primarily as a certain grammatical relation - the relation of an action to its source and to the object. The category of pledge reflects objectively occurring processes, the implementation of which is possible in the presence of an actor and an object of action.

The mother (subject) washes (action) the child (object).

The child (subject, object) washes himself (action).

But in the Russian language there are verbs that name such actions, for the implementation of which only the doer, the subject of the action is needed:

Clouds (subject) float quietly across the sky.

Thus, all verbs in Russian can be divided into two groups:

1) verbs capable of conveying voice relations (voice verbs);

2) verbs that do not convey voice relations (non-voice verbs).

In our language there are a huge number of words, which, in turn, consist of morphemes. Each of these bricks carries special information, which we sometimes don’t even think about. This article will allow you to decipher some linguistic codes by analyzing small parts of words called postfixes. The rule, the main elements of which will be these morphemes, will allow us to determine whether we have a reflexive or non-reflexive one.

What is a verb

The verb in is one of the significant parts of speech, denoting the action or state of an object. Verb can vary according to tenses, persons and numbers, that is, conjugate. Also, verbs can be defined repayment, transitivity, voice, gender (past tense). In a sentence, the verb is associated with the subject and acts as a predicate.

What are verbs made of?

Let's figure out what the significant parts of verbs are? It's simple, these are all the morphemes that make it up. One of these important parts of any verb will be suffixes: SYA, SY, T, CH, L; as well as the basics: , present tense. (Splash - toil, SAT - crowded, DRINK - cry, LIE - flow, Puffed - licked; talk - speak, spit - spit - the basis of the infinitive; carry - carried, draw - ricej - the basis of the present tense).

Based on this, you should understand what reflexive verbs are. These are those that contain the postfix SY. Absence of this morpheme speaks of irrevocability.

Important! Determine returnable or irreflexive verb It’s easy, just disassemble it according to its composition and trace the presence of the above element. This rule allows us to distinguish this feature of this part of speech.

How to determine in practice repayment and non-refundability

Two words are given: run and walk. We produce analysis by composition. 1st chapter: beige - root; -at – ending, suffixes Сь and СЯ out of stock. 2nd chapter: pro- – prefix; rumble-root; -yat – ending; -sya is a postfix (which indicates recurrence). Also, all non-reflexives are both transitive and intransitive, while their “brothers” are only intransitive.

Conclusion: 1st – non-refundable, 2nd – returnable.

All reflexive suffixes have certain shades of meaning:

1. Washing, shaving, getting dressed, wiping yourself, admiring, being ashamed - the action is directed towards oneself.
2. Fighting, calling names, hugging are performed by several subjects in relation to each other.
3. To be upset, to be happy, to sulk, to laugh is a psycho-emotional state.
4. The nettle stings, the cat scratches, the flower blooms - constant action.
5. Cleaning up, getting some money - actions done in one’s favor.
6. The door opened, water spilled - an event that happened on its own.

More often reflexive verb– derived from irrevocable (to wash – to wash).

Important! It is necessary to distinguish from reflexive verbs verb forms with the passive (The wallpaper is chosen by the buyer. The doors are closed with a key.) and impersonal meaning (It’s getting dark. It’s frowning. The weather will clear up.).

Features of the use of the key morpheme:

• SY- is added to the base of the verb, which ends in a consonant (washed, itched, caught fire, hoped, overate, shit yourself, drank too much, got dressed, dressed up);
• S- joins a stem ending in a vowel (unraveled, trampled, combed, became familiar, disappeared, put on makeup, cheered up, fledged, hesitated).

Variants of use within a literary text

Let's look at the proposals from reflexive verbs on specific examples.

It's getting dark (no return). The reeds are spiking (return) on the pond, the ducks have begun a roll call, anticipating twilight. The river surface lies (return) like an even glass canopy over the entire visible space, close (return) to the banks.

Slowly a small boat moored (non-return) to the wooden bridge, knocking (return) barely audibly against its bow, barely protruding from the water.

The bittern begins to hoarsely (non-return) scream (non-return) in a distant swamp, as if he is not feeling well today (impersonal form).
