Reflexive Verbs
Reflexive verbs are created by adding the suffix “-vin” onto the end of the conjugated verb for example:
Tense
Present (not reflexive): Present: Recent: Distant Past: Near Future: Distant Future: Conditional: |

Yi vūsti Yi vūstivin Yi vūsoivin Yi vūsicvin Yi vūsaēvin Yi vūsbelvin Yi vūslevin |
Reflexive verbs do not use reflexive pronouns when the Subject is the Direct Object. However there are reflexive pronouns for the use after a preposition and as the Dative case by adding "-at":

Singular: Plural: |
