    Hi all [​IMG]
    Long time has passed since last time i posted a grammar question !!
    and much time has passed since last August when i started to study czech myself... well anyway
    Im really stuck into this.

    How do i express repriprocity between two subjects if the verb has se already included?

    I usually express it with "se":
    <I>Me and Kris we see each other often - Kristyna a já se často stýkáme

    We love each other - Milujeme se</I>


    What if i wanna say:
    We look like each other [using the verb podobat se]

    I first thought to say
    Podobame se sam sobe, but I guess it means we look like ourselves, and not each other.

    So how do i say we look like each other?

    Plz dont use another verb, im not really interested in the real translation but just in the construction with a verb that has se included so plz use it even if isnt the most correct [​IMG]

    Hi Kikko!
    Your answer to yourself is correct. [​IMG] You can use either of the two. My only comment is that "navzájem" is one word, not two.
    Odpověděl sis sám sobě!

    N.B.
    demonstr. pronoun "sám" (f. sama, n. samo) has plur. "sami" (f. samy, n. sama):

    Podobáme se sami/samy sobě.
