Dear Dylane. I will never be able to thank you enough, for your excellent professional help with the French. I know you have helped, so many, with your love and determination to help, in the best way possible. Besides you having a French course available, your intention to help others as much as possible is undeniably true. What you do is not easy. It takes great effort, time and energy! Thank you, again, Dylane, for all you do, for the community around the world! Best wishes for you. Pv.

[@mikelocke3258]

Un énorme merci encore Dylane. I could see a relationship with the regular and reflexive verbs but I never realised they are actually different verbs. This has clarified it so much for me and makes it so much easier to understand. Merci , you have a unique ability to see and then unravel confusing French for us struggling students.

[@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane]

Tout le plaisir est pour moi Mike ☺️ Don't hesitate to let me know if there is something you struggle with, it's not always obvious for me since I never had to learn French :D

[@mahakyaseri6636]

Thank you very much. Your teaching is direct and to the point. It is excellent. Thanks again.

Merci Dylane. C'est très utile. Ce sont tous des verbes courants que nous devons connaître. Il est surprenant de constater à quel point le sens change avec le verbe réfléchi. Merci encore.

[@ramone2720]

Thank you for this good lesson and the explanation of differences between these verbs.

Oh my god, this lesson blew my mind! I was always confused when seeing these reflexive verbs, and it felt like a puzzle in my mind. But now, I will memorize them by heart and try to use them too. Thank you so much, Dylane, I learn a lot from you! 😍 And I always recommend your channel to all my friends and people who are learning French.

Awesome Madame merci beaucoup pour cette vidéo

[@Lesrevesdhiver]

I would not be comfortable taking a quiz on this just yet BUT it does explain well about why some verbs are reflexive or not. It is much more informative than a lot of videos I have seen about reflexive verbs. Especially reposer VS se reposer. I used to think, "Yeah of course someone is going to se reposer, who else are they going "to rest" besides themselves?" Thought I knew it all. 😄

[@frankfletes]

Great lesson. Mercy!

[@mikelocke3258]

I get a bit confused with the used of Rendre, it seems to have even a wider range of quite different meanings. I have realised it can also mean " to make", on further digging it seems it can only be used to Make situations or emotions ?? ie. je te rends heureux , which makes rendre similar to our english " to render." All very tricky pour moi !!

[@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane]

Yes! I should have included that one! Se rendre can also be translated to "To make one feel". I don't know the verb "To render", I will check it out later today :) Cela me rend triste - It makes me feel sad Thank you for sharing this one Mike 😃

[@paultownsend4347]

Bonjour Dylane. Another excellent lesson. Reflexives have been tough for me since day one, but I work on them often and my understanding of them continues to improve little by little. I have two distinct questions that actually have nothing to do with reflexives, but rather your examples: 1) Attendre vs. S'attendre. My question has to do with the word "toujours" in your example sentence. My mind always wants to translate it as "always" (which I know is correct - "We always wait for the 10am train"), but you translated it as "still" as in "we are still waiting for the 10am train." I keep trying to understand how context might help here, but this one has me really confused between always and still. 2) Plaire vs. Se plaire. In your example with "se plaire" you used the word "dans." Yet in my mind, the sentence is simply saying "we are enjoying our new house." Which makes me ask why the word "dans" is needed?? Are they only enjoying the inside of the house? I know these may seem like very detailed questions, but I believe that it's the little details that make the difference between learning, and learning well. Merci beaucoup Dylane.

[@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane]

Hey Paul 😃 Toujours can translate to "still" in some cases. Nous sommes toujours mariés - We are still married. But yes "still" can also translate to "encore" Il est encore en train de regarder la télévision - He is still watching TV. For your second question, "se plaire dans" refers to a physical location: Se plaire dans sa maison, dans sa classe :) Let me know if you need more explanations ;)

[@royalbirb275]

for your second question, if you translate it literally, it's saying "we are pleasing ourselves *in* our new house", where "dans" means "in," in the locative sense. the literal version sounds dirty in english, so the most meaningful and simple translation happens to be "we are enjoying our new house" lol

[@QamarBajwa]

@ 5:22 you wrote, "we are still waiting for the train at 10 o clock" as I feel that translation should be " we always wait for the train at 10 o clock" kindly tell me why the translation changes as i see "toujours" which mean always? i found ur videos very useful and thanks! your conjugation course is very helpful> and the book only contains conjugation course or all the following courses as well? this answer will help me decide to buy the book ?

[@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane]

No the translation is correct. One word can have different meanings. Here it implies that we have been waiting for a while and that we are still waiting. And for the book, it's only the conjugation course. Each course has a book ;)

[@MathCuriousity]

May I ask a question: I don’t see how s‘occuper de is a reflexive verb. It’s confusing because we are not taking care of oneself - we are taking care of someone or something. Thanks so much!

[@MathCuriousity]

I have the same issue with s’entendre. How are these both reflexive ?!

[@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane]

Yes s'occuper and s'entendre are both reflexive. I will include them in my long reflexive verbs video coming :)

[@MathCuriousity]

@@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane thank you my love! Please if you have a chance, explain how many reflexive verbs do NOT have the subject doing something to themselves! Yet they are still “reflexive”! But I don’t understand how!

Se rendre veut dire ( to GET to a certain place ) ca veut pas dire ( to go ) en anglais, également Rappeler veut aussi dire ( to remind ).

[@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane]

Se rendre a plusieurs définitions, l'une d'entre elles est "to go". Ça veut aussi dire "to surrender". Tu aimes tes propres commentaires pour te donner raison ?

[@e.mohamed2437]

@@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane tout d’abord, à propos de ( rappeler ) je voulais juste ajouter une autre signification pour ce verbe, et j’insiste que ( se rendre à ) veut dire ( to GET into some place ), j’ai juste écrit une signification plus précise que ( to go ) c’est tout, au fait je regarde toutes tes vidéos et j’apprécie trop tes efforts. je vous souhaite une bonne continuation.
