§Grammar and usage
Reflexive pronouns are used when the subject and object are the same ('I taught myself English'); emphatic use ('I myself saw it'); by myself means alone or without help; avoid using myself instead of I or me ('Radhika and I will attend', not 'Radhika and myself').
यह बहुत पूछा जाता है: reflexive pronouns तब प्रयुक्त होते हैं जब subject और object एक हों ('I taught myself English'); ज़ोर देने के लिए ('I myself saw it'); by myself का अर्थ अकेले या बिना मदद के है; I या me के स्थान पर myself से बचें ('Radhika and I will attend', 'Radhika and myself' नहीं)।
Trap: some verbs are not reflexive in English ('I relax', 'I feel', 'I concentrate', not 'I relax myself' in standard English); but 'enjoy yourself' needs the reflexive.
Trap: English में कुछ verbs reflexive नहीं होते ('I relax', 'I feel', 'I concentrate', मानक English में 'I relax myself' नहीं); पर 'enjoy yourself' में reflexive ज़रूरी है।
