You love yourself. (lit, “you love you”…etc.) • Nosamamus. We love ourselves. • Vosamatis. Y’all love yourselves.

  4.

  5. Reflexive Pronouns • The exact meaning of “sui” is determined by the subject. • Puellaese amant. The girls love themselves. • Agricola seamat. The farmer loves himself. • Feminase amat. The woman loves herself.
