Romeo and Juliet meet, hug, kiss, and fall in love. They comfort each other, admire each other, and get married—but not without some help from reciprocal reflexive verbs (i verbi riflessivi reciproci)! These verbs express a reciprocal action that involves more than one person. The plural reflexive pronouns ci, vi, and si are used when conjugating reciprocal reflexive verbs:
Si abbracciarono affettuosamente. (They embraced each other affectionately.)
Ci scambiammo alcune informazione. (We exchanged some information.)
Vi scriveste frequentemente, dopo quell'estate. (You frequently wrote to each other after that summer.)
Other reciprocal verbs are listed in the table below.
