hello, i am just learning Spanish and i'm unsure about what i should use for the verb in this sentence:
''she looked at herself in the mirror''
would it be reflexive like ''se miró'' or more word for word ''miró a sí misma'' or maybe even neither.
i have been looking around this site for an answer but been unable to find one.
Thankyou for helping and i apologize for my bad English, i'm Greek and my English is not so good as yet.

"Se miró a sí misma" is fine. The "a sí misma" add emphasis.

She looked at herself in the mirror. - Ella se miró a si misma en el espejo.
Unless of course ''herself'' is the name of another person. In which case it would be
Ella miró a herself en el espejo.
