Usage notes

[edit]

While English distinguishes neatly betweenreflexive pronouns andreciprocal pronouns (such as “each other”), in many languages this is not the case. Reflexive pronouns in these languages can also express reciprocal senses when the context is unambiguous. Such pronouns are still commonly referred to asreflexive pronouns although they are not “reflexive” in the strict sense of the word.
