Halo Siti mohon maaf baru balas 🙁

Terima kasih komentarnya Siti. Reflexive pronoun disitu sebagai object of preposition Siti untuk menyatakan “did something without any help”.

We use reflexives with the preposition by:

to show that someone did something without any help:
The children got dressed by themselves.
I prepared the whole meal by myself. https://learnenglish.britishcouncil.org/english-grammar-reference/reflexive-pronouns

Ke depannya saya berencana untuk melengkapi dan memperbaiki halaman ini 🙂

Hi. Menurut saya, kalimat “The students ate cookies that they cooked by themselves” adalah contoh intensive pronoun, bukan reflexive, karena posisi “themselves” di kalimat itu bukan sebagai object.

cenderung dianggap non-standard Fadil

Hisself is listed as a dialectal variation for himself. While it is an official word, most would deem it grammatically incorrect. And so it is rarely used in formal writing.

Hisself actually comes from how words were formed in Old English. The reflexive was made by adding self to his, as in belonging to the male. Himself comes from the pronoun set which meant that something concerned him (i.e., the male). https://grammarist.com/words/himself-vs-hisself/

Hi Selly! Thank you for loving my explanation :B

Use “yourself” when “you” (the subject of a sentence) refers to one person, but if “you” refers more than one person, use “yourselves”.
