'A verb is reflexive' = 'un verbo es reflexivo'.

What it means, is that (generally, in English as well as Spanish and other languages) a verb is accompanied by '(my/your/him/her/its)self' or '(our/your/their)selves'; (or the equivalent so-called 'reflexive pronoun(s)' in other languages. In Spanish, 'me/te/se/le/nos/os/les').

E.g. I wash the windows = Lavo las ventanas

I wash myself/you wash yourself, etc. = me lavo/te lavas, etc.

In Spanish you also use the reflexive if you say

'I wash my hands' = me lavo las manos (literally: I wash myself the hands).
