Notes
4. The present participle (Partizip I) of a reflexive verb can function as an attributive adjective to a noun. In this case, the present participle must always be accompanied by a reflexive pronoun.
| Examples |
| Der sich erholende Arbeiter. |
| Das sich amüsierende Publikum. |
| Die sich schminkende Frau. |
On the contrary, the past participle (Partizip II) of a reflexive verb can function as an attributive adjective to a noun, only if the reflexive verb can form the Zustandsreflexiv. The reflexive pronoun is omitted.
| Examples |
| Der enttäuschte Kunde. |
| Die verliebte Frau. |
| Die geöffnete Tür. |
