"Tu vorbești cu tine însuți."

Translation: You talk to yourself.

[Pop60]

What is the role of "insuti" and how is this different from Tu vorbesti cu tine?

[Lurch_M]

Its role is as a strengthener used to emphasize the fact that the speaker and the listener are one and the same. I suppose it's passable to omit the strengthener for the 1st and for the 2nd person, but you need to use the strengthener for the 3rd person. Here are a few examples:

• "Eu vorbesc cu tine." = "I talk to you."
• "Eu vorbesc cu mine (însumi)." = "I talk to myself."
• "Tu vorbești cu mine." = "You talk to me."
• "Tu vorbești cu tine (însuți)." = "You talk to yourself."
• "El vorbește cu el." = "He talks to him." (him being some other guy!)
• "El vorbește cu el însuși." = "He talks to himself."

I didn't cover feminine/plural combinations, but hopefully this was enough to illustrate the point.

THANK YOU! I don't know why this section doesn't have a "hints" introduction. I feel like we are thrown to the wolves.
