English Online Dictionary. What means me‎? What does me mean?

English

Etymology 1

From Middle English me, from Old English mē (“me”, originally dative, but later also accusative), from Proto-West Germanic *miʀ, from Proto-Germanic *miz (“me”), from Proto-Indo-European *h₁me- (“me”).

Pronunciation

(UK, Canada) enPR: mē, IPA^(key): /miː/
(US) enPR: mē, IPA^(key): /mi/
(Northern England, Ottawa Valley) enPR: mĭ, IPA^(key): /mɪ/
(some accents) enPR: mā, IPA^(key): /meɪ/
Rhymes: -iː, -eɪ, -ɪ
Homophones: mee, may (some accents)

Pronoun

me (first-person singular pronoun, referring to the speaker)

The first-person singular, as the object (of a verb, preposition, etc).
1. As the object (direct or indirect) of a verb.
2. (archaic, proscribed) Myself; as a reflexive direct object of a verb.
3. (colloquial, proscribed) Myself; as a reflexive indirect object of a verb; the ethical dative.
4. As the object of a preposition.
(sometimes proscribed) As the complement of the copula (be).
Used for the pronoun in isolation or in apposition.
(nonstandard or proscribed) I, the first-person singular, as the subject.
1. (informal, with a conjunction, often proscribed) As the subject of a verb.
  
  [It was] literally all me and my astrophysicist colleagues could talk about.
  
  Stella and me have opted to take a course called 'Autobiography and Fiction'.
2. (nonstandard, not with a conjunction) As the subject of a verb. Sometimes used to indicate or imitate limited English fluency.
3. (nonstandard, in apposition) Would be the subject of a copula in standard English, though the copula is omitted; used to indicate or imitate limited English fluency.

Usage notes

Me is traditionally described as the objective pronoun, meaning it is used as the object of verbs and prepositions, while the subjective pronoun I should be used as the subject of verbs. However, "objective" pronouns are widely used as the subject of verbs in colloquial speech when they are accompanied by a conjunction, for example, "me and her are friends". This usage is traditionally considered incorrect, and "she and I are friends" is the prescriptive construction.

Using me as the lone subject of a verb (without a conjunction, e.g. "me want", "me like") is a feature of various types of both pidgin English and that of infant English-learners, and is sometimes used by speakers of standard English for jocular effect (e.g. "me likee", "me wantee").

Although in some dialects 'me' is also used as a possessive, in writing, speakers of these dialects usually write my.

Some prescriptivists object to the use of me following the verb be, as in "It wasn't me". The phrase "It was not I" is prescribed as correct, though this may be seen as extreme and used for jocular effect.

Synonyms

(subject of a verb): I; my ass (vulgar)
(complement of the copula): I
(indirect object): us (Australia, UK)
(marking ownership): my; mine (archaic)

Finnish

Etymology

From Proto-Finnic *mek, from Proto-Uralic *me. The word is inflected as plural, but there is no plural marker in the nominative, except in dialects (met).

Pronoun

Usage notes

When the verb shows both the person and the number, the pronoun may be left out in written Finnish and is usually only used for emphasis. However, the inflected forms are often used. In colloquial Finnish, the pronoun is almost always used, even with a verb. (compare the usage of minä (“I”)).
See this appendix for information on the dialectal variants of me.

Inflection

Irregular (inflectional stem mei-, as if in the plural). The comitative and instructive forms don't exist; the abessive is hardly used.
In addition to the standard set of cases, me and the other personal pronouns have a specific accusative form, meidät.
