Yo me baño. = I bathe myself. (I take a bath). A reflexive verb is an action done to oneself, as in “myself”, “yourself”, “himself”, “herself”, “ourselves”, “yourselves”, and “themselves”. The concept, however, may be translated to English without the “self” to sound more natural. Yo me baño. = I bathe myself. (I take a bath). bañarse Tú te miras. You look at yourself. mirarse maquillarse Ella se maquilla. She applies makeup on herself. (She puts on makeup.) divertirse Las niñas se divierten. The children enjoy themselves.
