Daniela shows us how to conjugate reflexive verbs. It's not really any different than conjugating normal verbs, so don't worry!

Daniela works on reflexive verbs, the verbs distinguished by their si ending. The si lets us know that the action involves the self. For clarity, the English translation is also given in a reflexive form, to aid in the understanding, even though English doesn't use it.

To conclude this three-part lesson on positive and neutral adjectives, Daniela talks about neutral adjectives in the plural.

Daniela continues explaining how to use adjectives in Italian. This time she focuses on so-called neutral adjectives.
