Italian reflexive verbs

Today we study a group of verbs called “verbi riflessivi” (reflexive verbs). We already know the reflexive verb “chiamarsi” which is one of the first verbs the students learn in a Italian course. This verb, in fact, is used to introduce ourselves or to ask someone’s name. The expressions: “io mi chiamo ...”, “tu ti chiami ...” can be translated literally with “I call myself ...”, “you call yourself ...”.
