Pronunciation
uredi
-sя (-sja)
- Reflexive suffix appended to finite verbs and infinitives to make a reflexive, reciprocal, intransitive or passive verb.
Usage notes
uredi
- After a vowel, -sя is usually contracted to -sь, except when attached to an adjectival participle:
- mы́tьsя (mýtʹsja, “to wash oneself”), móetsя (mójetsja, “[he] washes himself”)
- móюsь (mójusʹ, “[I] wash myself”)
- mы́všaяsя (mývšajasja, “having been washing herself”).
- When affixed to an infinitive -tь (-tʹ) or the 3rd-person singular or plural -t (-t), it merges with the /tʲ/ or /t/ into the affricate /ts/ and palatalization is lost: [tsə].
