Alternative forms

Etymology 1

From Latin se (“him-, her-, it-, themselves”, reflexive third-person pronoun). Cognate with Spanish se and Portuguese se and si.

Pronunciation

• IPA^(key): /si/
• Rhymes: -i
• Hyphenation: si

Usage notes

• When si is part of an infinitive, it can be placed before it as a separate word, but more often it is attached to the end. In this case, the final -e of the infinitive is dropped, or, in the case of infinitives ending in -rre, the final -re is dropped. Examples: amar(e) + si = amarsi; ridur(re) + si = ridursi.
• Often translated using the passive voice in English when used as indefinite personal pronoun:

  Si dice che […] ― It is said that […]

• Verb + si is often translated as become or get + [past participle] in English.
• In cases where si (indefinite pronoun) and si (reflexive pronoun) follow each other, the first si is replaced with ci:

  (instead of: *Si si lava.)

• Becomes se when followed by a third-person direct object clitic (lo, la, li, le, or ne).
