Reflexive pronouns are formed by adding -seif (sing.) 
-seines (plural) to the personal pronoun and thus denote that the 
agent (substantive) and the objeet of the action are the same. 
' It should be observed that -seif is always joined to the pos 
sessive case of the first and second personal pronouns 
and to the objective case of the third.
