English

Etymology 1

From Middle English me, from Old English (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) enPR: , IPA(key): /miː/
  • (US) enPR: , IPA(key): /mi/
  • (some accents) enPR: , IPA(key): /meɪ/
  • Rhymes: -iː, -eɪ
  • Homophones: mee, may (some accents)

Pronoun

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

  1. As the direct object of a verb.
  2. (archaic, proscribed) Myself; as a reflexive direct object of a verb.
  3. As the object of a preposition.
  4. As the indirect object of a verb.
  5. (colloquial) As a grammatical subject or object when joined with a conjunction.
    [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'.
  6. (colloquial, proscribed) Myself; as a reflexive indirect object of a verb; the ethical dative.
  7. As the complement of the copula (be or is).
  8. (informal, with and, often proscribed) As the subject of a verb.
  9. (nonstandard, not with and) As the subject of a verb.
Usage notes

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

Using me as the lone subject (without and) of a verb (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 the spoken version of some dialects 'me' is commonly 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 considered to be 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)

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).

Pronunciation

  • IPA(key): /ˈme/, [ˈme̞]
  • Rhymes: -e
  • Syllabification(key): me

Pronoun

me

  1. we

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)).

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.
