Like French, Russian words have masculine and feminine words. Also , their script is slightly different. The pronoun can be employed in a number of ways. Some words like 'sebya ' (self) can often be used to denote somebody in first person, 2nd or 3rd person. It describes the connection between an action and the individual performing it.
