== English == === Etymology 1 === From Middle English me, from Old English mē (“me”, originally dative, but later also accusative, supplanting accusative mec), 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: Me, 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). As the object (direct or indirect) of a verb. (archaic, proscribed) Myself; as a reflexive direct object of a verb. (colloquial, proscribed) Myself; as a reflexive indirect object of a verb; the ethical dative. As the object of a preposition. Used in isolation or apposition, or (sometimes proscribed) as the complement of the copula (be). (nonstandard or proscribed) I, the first-person singular, as the subject. (informal, with a conjunction, often proscribed) As the subject of a verb. (nonstandard, not with a conjunction) As the subject of a verb. Sometimes used to indicate or imitate limited English fluency. (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, for example, 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 (for example, me likee, me wantee). In some dialects, me is also used as a possessive in speech (see below), or put another way (because in writing those dialects often write my), those dialects pronounce my as /mi/, but in some of those dialects, my /maɪ/ may still be used when the word is emphasized, as in it’s my turn. Some prescriptivists object to the use of me following the verb be, as in it wasn’t me; they prescribe phrase it was not I as the correct one, 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) ===== Derived terms ===== ===== Related terms ===== meseems methinks noli me tangere ===== Descendants ===== Bislama: mi Jamaican Creole: mi Nigerian Pidgin: mi Pijin: mi Sranan Tongo: mi ===== Translations ===== ==== See also ==== ==== Noun ==== me (plural mes) The self or personality of the speaker, especially their authentic self.
