Italian pronominal verbs (verbi pronominali) are verbs conjugated with two different pronominal particles (particelle pronominali). In the infinitive, these verbs frequently end in -sene (such as tornarsene or vergognarsene) or else have other pronominal particles attached (such as mettercela or squagliarsela). Oftentimes these verbs are used idiomatically.

Intransitivi Pronominali
There are several pronominal verbs which are intransitive.


Examples include curarsene and partirsene, in which the reflexive pronoun si is used to emphasize the concept or describe a reciprocal action and the pronoun ne can mean "about it," "any," "some," or "from there." Note that the pronoun si becomes se when followed by another particle (partirsene and not partirsine).

Below is a list of some common intransitivi pronominali:

approfittarsene: to take advantage of something or somebody
curarsene (or prendersene cura): to be cured of
dirsene di tutti i colori: to call one another names
fregarsene: not to care (colloquial; to be avoided in formal situations)—Me ne frego.
guardarsene: to beware, to avoid
infischiarsene: not to care (colloquial; to be avoided in formal situations)—Me ne infischio.
intendersene: to be an expert
invaghirsene: to become infatuated; dated, but can be still encountered in written speech—Narciso vide il suo viso riflesso nell'acqua e se ne invaghì.
lavarsene (le mani): to wash one's hands of something
occuparsene: to take care of something
pentirsene: to regret something
sbattersene : not to care (colloquial; to be avoided in formal situations)—Me ne sbatto.

tornarsene: emphatic for tornare—Basta! Me ne torno da mia madre!

Andarsene
The verb andarsene ("to go away"—used emphatically) is a frequently encountered Italian pronominal verb and can serve as a model for conjugating similar verbs. Here are some examples of the verb andarsene used in a sentence:

"Vattene, non ti voglio più vedere!" (go away, I don't want to see you again)
"Me ne vado" (I'm going away)
"Perché ve ne andate?"(Why are you going away?)
"Se ne stava tutta sola in un angolo” (she was sitting in a corner all by herself);

Note when conjugating the imperative and gerund of andarsene and similar verbs that have two pronominal particles that both are appended to the conjugated verb (Andatevene!; Vattene!; Andiamocene!), while in other moods and tenses the pronoun ne, as well as the particles mi, ti, si, ci, and vi precede the verb. In addition, the particles make a phonetic change to me, te, se, ce, and ve.

Two Pronominal Particles
In addition to the ending -sene, some Italian pronominal verbs are formed with the reflexive particle sé plus a pronome oggetto (object pronoun), or else a combination with the particles ci and ne. These verbs frequently have idiomatic meanings also.
