self = zì jǐ. We put subject before that for example:
wǒ zì jǐ = myself
tā zì jǐ = him/ herself
nǐ zì jǐ = yourself
wǒ men zì jǐ = ourselües
I’m teaching myself Mandarin = Wǒ jiāo wǒ zì jǐ pǔ tōng huà
She killed herself = tā zì shā le (we have a specific word for “suicide”)
I can drive car by myself = Wǒ zì jǐ kě yi kāi chē
I’m wash myself = wǒ zì jǐ xǐ zǎo
Benny
