Suffix
ru suffix
Reflexive suffix appended to finite verbs and infinitives to make a reflexive, reciprocal, intransitive or passive verb.
Usage notes
After a vowel, ru -ся is usually contracted to ru -сь, except when attached to an adjectival participle:
ru мы́ться to wash oneself, ru мо́ется [he] washes himself
ru мыться мо́юсь [I] wash myself
ru мывшийся мы́вшаяся having been washing herself.
When affixed to an infinitive ru -ть or the 3rd-person singular or plural ru -т, it merges with the /tʲ/ or /t/ into the affricate /ts/ and palatalization is lost: [tsə].
