Hi everyone!

I have a question about the word "себя" when used in the phrases на себя / от себя. I see it on the doors of many establishments and it seems that this is what Russians use to say "pull / push". I wonder what is the case of себя in those phrases and how would this pronoun sound in the nominative case.

Thanks!

hi,

СЕБЯ is a reflexive pronoun that has no nominative case.
