themselves pronoun

NOTE:
When used as a reflexive pronoun, direct and indirect, themselves is translated by se (or s' before a vowel or mute ‘h’). When used for emphasis, the translation is eux-mêmes in the masculine and elles-mêmes in the feminine: they did it themselves = ils l'ont fait eux-mêmes or elles l'ont fait elles-mêmes. After a preposition, the translation is eux or elles or eux-mêmes or elles-mêmes: they bought the painting for themselves = (masculine or mixed gender) ils ont acheté le tableau pour eux or pour eux-mêmes;
(feminine gender) elles ont acheté le tableau pour elles or pour elles-mêmes.
