Reflex: reflexive
Reflexiveness is a lexical feature of some pronouns and determiners. It tells whether the word is reflexive, i.e. refers to the subject of its clause.
We distinguish three types of reflexive word forms in Slovenian: reflexive pronoun se “oneself”, bound reflexive pronouns (e.g. zase “for oneself”) and possessive pronoun/determiner svoj “one’s own”.
Note that reflexive pronoun se can also be used in subjectless passive constructions and as a free morpheme of pseudo-reflexive verbs.
Yes: it is reflexive
