Please be patient

Our volunteers look into many questions every day; sometimes it takes them a little while to answer.

Pro tip: you can rename the thread title with `.tr <thread name>`

Make it descriptive, including relevant context, but also to the point. This way you improve your chances of getting a more relevant and specific answer.

[fiery wigeon]

yes you would use that

"s'appeller" doesn't mean to call oneself. It just means to be named.

You might have learned that the reflexive pronoun indicates an action done to oneself. This isn't exactly true. Reflexive verbs can have several meanings
Acting on oneself (se laver => to clean oneself)
Reciprocal action (se disputer => to argue / have an argument)
Something else entirely (s'attaquer => to tackle)
Can only be pronominal (s'enfuir => to run away)

"s'appeler" is moreso in the "something else" category and not in the "acting on oneself" category

[hushed vale]

You'd use il or elle for an object too
