Idiomatic Spanish Pronominal Verbs
Pronominal verbs are verbs that must be used with a reflexive pronoun
in order to indicate that the subject is performing the action of the verb upon
itself. For some verbs, one or more pronominal meanings may be considerably different from
the non-pronominal meaning(s).
Note that this is just a guide - consult a dictionary for a complete list of
meanings.
