¿Me das tu muñeca si te cansas de ella?

Question

The use of “te cansas” looks like reflexive use to me.  However, when I consult the dictionary the use is described as pronominal use.  Please help me with the difference between pronominal and reflexive use.

Answer

Hola JohanA pronominal verb is a verb that uses a pronoun, for example, casarse (to marry), olvidarse (to forget), escaparse (to escape)... but among the pronomiinal verbs there is a subgroup which is the reflexive verbs. These are pronominal verbs using a pronoun but here the subject performs an action upon himself/herself (or their body), for example: lavarse ( to wash yourself), peinarse (to comb yourself), ducharse (to shower yourself)...I hope this helps,Inma
