Some verbs need a pronoun pointing back at the subject: mig for jeg, dig for du, os for vi, jer for I, and sig for han/hun/den/det/de. The pronoun comes right after the verb.
Examples
- Jeg skynder mig om morgenen.
- I hurry in the morning.
- Min søster sminker sig hver dag.
- My sister puts on makeup every day.
- Han reder sig, før han går ud.
- He combs his hair before going out.
- Vi glæder os til weekenden.
- We're looking forward to the weekend.
The mistake to avoid
Using sig for I/you ("jeg skynder sig") - sig only ever refers to a third person.
Where this fits in
Daily routines & habits, Danish A2: Talk about what you do every day, at what time, and how often. Reflexive verbs with 'sig' and frequency adverbs.
