Celebrarse is the reflexive form of celebrar, so it always takes a reflexive pronoun – me, te, se, nos, os or se – that matches the subject. The verb itself is conjugated the same way: in the present tense, yo celebro becomes me celebro. In the affirmative tú imperative the pronoun attaches to the end of the verb, so celebra becomes celébrate.
