REFLECTIVE PRONOUN “SJEBJE” (“SJA”) — LPQR (Lingua Planificata Quasi-Russica) Grammar

In LPQR, there is a reflexive pronoun, "sjebje," corresponding to the Russian pronoun "sebya." It indicates that the action or quality described in the sentence refers to the person or object designated by the word, which is the subject, and is directed at this person or object.

This pronoun should be used when the subject is a noun or a third-person pronoun. Unlike in Russian, if the subject is in the first or second person, using the word "sjebje" is generally not recommended.
