Your daily life — reflexive verbs. reflexive verbs

Day 10 gave you plain verbs and a first taste of routine. Today's family — reflexive verbs — is for the actions that come back to you: 'mi sveglio' (I wake up), 'mi lavo' (I wash), 'mi vesto' (I get dressed). You already met one on Day 2: 'mi chiamo' is a reflexive. You'll learn the pronoun set, string the verbs into a morning-to-night routine with prima / poi / dopo, meet the friendly 'each other' twist (ci vediamo, ci sentiamo), and hold a real conversation about a typical day.

The order words map straight onto Hindi

Sequencing a routine feels natural to Indians: prima = pehle (first), poi = phir (then), dopo = baad mein (after), infine = aakhir mein (finally). And the soft 'gli' in 'sveglio' is the Hindi 'ल्य' as in 'kalyan', so ZVEH-lyo comes almost for free. Hindi also does 'each other' without an extra word — 'hum milte hain' (we meet) — exactly like Italian's reciprocal 'ci incontriamo'.
