  • French regular and reflexive verbs are easy to understand when they have the same signification. Regular verbs have a general meaning, while reflexive verbs are all about the person.
    But what happens when they don't have the same meaning at all? For example, REPOSER means "To put back" while SE REPOSER means "To rest". In this lesson, I give you 20 examples with sentences to never mix them up again!

    Un énorme merci encore Dylane. I could see a relationship with the regular and reflexive verbs but I never realised they are actually different verbs.

    I would not be comfortable taking a quiz on this just yet BUT it does explain well about why some verbs are reflexive or not. It is much more informative than a lot of videos I have seen about reflexive verbs.
    Especially reposer VS se reposer. I used to think, "Yeah of course someone is going to se reposer, who else are they going "to rest" besides themselves?"
    Thought I knew it all. 😄

    I get a bit confused with the used of Rendre, it seems to have even a wider range of quite different meanings. I have realised it can also mean " to make", on further digging it seems it can only be used to Make situations or emotions ?? ie. je te rends heureux , which makes rendre similar to our english " to render." All very tricky pour moi !!

    • @TheperfectfrenchwithDylane
      @TheperfectfrenchwithDylane  3 роки тому +1

      Yes! I should have included that one! Se rendre can also be translated to "To make one feel". I don't know the verb "To render", I will check it out later today :)
      Cela me rend triste - It makes me feel sad

    Bonjour Dylane. Another excellent lesson. Reflexives have been tough for me since day one, but I work on them often and my understanding of them continues to improve little by little. I have two distinct questions that actually have nothing to do with reflexives, but rather your examples: 1) Attendre vs. S'attendre. My question has to do with the word "toujours" in your example sentence. My mind always wants to translate it as "always" (which I know is correct - "We always wait for the 10am train"), but you translated it as "still" as in "we are still waiting for the 10am train." I keep trying to understand how context might help here, but this one has me really confused between always and still. 2) Plaire vs. Se plaire. In your example with "se plaire" you used the word "dans." Yet in my mind, the sentence is simply saying "we are enjoying our new house." Which makes me ask why the word "dans" is needed?? Are they only enjoying the inside of the house? I know these may seem like very detailed questions, but I believe that it's the little details that make the difference between learning, and learning well. Merci beaucoup Dylane.

    • @TheperfectfrenchwithDylane
      @TheperfectfrenchwithDylane  3 роки тому +2

      Hey Paul 😃
      Toujours can translate to "still" in some cases.
      Nous sommes toujours mariés - We are still married.
      But yes "still" can also translate to "encore"
      Il est encore en train de regarder la télévision - He is still watching TV.
      For your second question, "se plaire dans" refers to a physical location:
      Se plaire dans sa maison, dans sa classe :)
      Let me know if you need more explanations ;)

    • @royalbirb275
      @royalbirb275 Рік тому

      for your second question, if you translate it literally, it's saying "we are pleasing ourselves *in* our new house", where "dans" means "in," in the locative sense. the literal version sounds dirty in english, so the most meaningful and simple translation happens to be "we are enjoying our new house" lol

      No the translation is correct. One word can have different meanings. Here it implies that we have been waiting for a while and that we are still waiting.
      And for the book, it's only the conjugation course. Each course has a book ;)
