Verbos: Top 25 reflexive verbs

It's good to remember that it is the intended meaning and the pronoun that makes a verb reflexive ... the actual conjugation remains the same. Reflexive verbs reflect back to the subject agent.

In this example, levantar which normally means raise or lift, when reflexive it means to stand up. Me levanto - I stand up. Se levanta - he or she stands up; se levantan - they stand up. Verbs that change meaning are highlighted.
