"they wash themselves" is ili lavas sin, but "I wash myself" is mi lavas min, instead of *mi lavas sin.)

- The que is sometimes replaced by an inverted-subject construction with a subjunctive verbal element and nominal, usually a personal pronoun.
- si heureuse soit-elle ― however happy she may be

Usage notes
edit- When si is part of an infinitive, it can be placed before it as a separate word, but more often it is attached to the end. In this case, the final -e of the infinitive is dropped, or, in the case of infinitives ending in -rre, the final -re is dropped. Examples: amar(e) + si = amarsi; ridur(re) + si = ridursi.
- Often translated using the passive voice in English when used as indefinite personal pronoun:
- Si dice che […] ― It is said that […]
- Verb + si is often translated as become or get + [past participle] in English.
- In cases where si (indefinite pronoun) and si (reflexive pronoun) follow each other, the first si is replaced with ci:
- Ci si lava. ― One washes oneself.
- (instead of: *Si si lava.)
- Becomes se when followed by a third-person direct object clitic (lo, la, li, le, or ne).
