Reflexive verbs

“…che si ritirerà alla fine di quest’anno”
(…who will retire at the end of this year)

In this sentence, the reflexive verb “ritirarsi” is used to indicate an action performed by the subject on oneself.
Reflexive verbs in Italian are used when the subject of the verb is also the recipient of the action.

Here are some examples:

1. Lavarsi (to wash oneself) – Mi lavo ogni mattina. (I wash myself every morning.)
2. Vestirsi (to dress oneself) – Ti vesti velocemente. (You dress yourself quickly.)
3. Svegliarsi (to wake up) – Si svegliano sempre tardi. (They wake up late every time.)
4. Perdersi (to get lost) – Ci siamo persi durante la camminata. (We got lost during the walk.)

Reflexive verbs are commonly used in Italian for actions related to personal care, daily routines, emotions, and certain actions where the subject is directly involved or affected by the action.
