79. Reflexive Verbs

September 6, 2026 · 17 min

Show notes

Reflexive verbs are everywhere in Swedish. Att känna sig, att skynda sig, att bestämma sig, att lära sig… But when should you use mig, dig, sig, oss or er?

In this episode, we’ll go through how Swedish reflexive verbs work, some of the most common verbs you need to learn, and mistakes to avoid... like ska ni gifta sig?

You’ll also learn how a reflexive pronoun can completely change the meaning of a sentence, as in hon lär henne svenska vs. hon lär sig svenska.
