Reflexive Pronouns in German Grammar
Reflexive Pronouns in Accusative and Dative
- Reflexive pronouns in German grammar are mich/mir, dich/dir, uns, euch and sich. We use them with reflexive and reciprocal verbs. Reflexive pronouns always refer to the subject and must be declined to match the case they are in.

Usage
We use reflexive pronouns with two different types of verbs in German grammar:
- Reflexive verbs use the reflexive pronouns with the meaning “oneself”. We use the reflexive pronoun in the dative if there is also an accusative object. (see also Reflexive Verbs)
- Example: Ich glaube, wir kennen uns. (= wir kennen einander)
- Tom und Albert streiten sich. (= der eine mit dem anderen)
