[edit]Suffix
[edit]-ся • (-sja)
- Reflexive suffix appended to finite verbs and infinitives to make a reflexive, reciprocal, intransitive or passive verb.
Usage notes
[edit]- After a vowel, -ся is usually contracted to -сь, except when attached to an adjectival participle:
- When affixed to an infinitive -ть (-tʹ) or the 3rd-person singular or plural -т (-t), it merges with the /tʲ/ or /t/ into the affricate /ts/ and palatalization is lost: [tsə].
