It makes them reflexive.
For example: afeitarse
When you conjugate afetarse, 1st person singular is:
me afeito
Something has to receive the action of a reflexive verb, and in this case, it's me, loosely translated I shave myself
Make sense?
the se makes it reflexive. in other words, it means that whoever does the action receives the action. for example, me divierto means I entertain myself. If you just said divierto, that means i entertain, not specifying to who.
