Verbi Riflessivi

Andiamo a sederci. = We're going to sit down

Reflexive verb
Sedersi = to sit down

Reflexive pronouns
mi (myself)
ti (yourself singular informal)
si (himself/herself/yourself/oneself singular formal)
ci (ourselves)
vi (yourselves)
si (themselves)

For the Reflexive verb - Chiamarsi, we are actually changing the suffix -si into the reflexive pronoun mi and put it in front of the verb. Example, Mi chiamo Tony.

For Sedersi, why are we changing the suffix -si into the reflexive pronoun ci directly. We are not putting the ci in front of the verb, like ci sediamo. Why?

Is there any rules on how we handle the reflexive pronoun for different reflexive verbs?

Hi Tony

When we use reflexive verb SEDERSI, we mean the infinitive form (Present) of this verb. The suffix "Ci" is used to conjugate the present indicative of Sedersi.

Infinitive is SEDERSI

Indicative:

io mi siedo
tu ti siedi
egli si siede
noi ci sediamo
voi vi sedete
essi si siedono

I am sure an italian teachers will give your more details.

I hope I help you
