=====Usage notes=====
{{rfref|en}}
{{m-lite|en|me|Me}} is traditionally described as the [[objective]] pronoun, meaning it is used as the [[object]] of verbs and prepositions, while the [[subjective]] pronoun {{m-lite|en|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 {{m-lite|en|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 {{m-lite|en|my}}.

Some prescriptivists object to the use of {{m-lite|en|me}} following the verb {{m-lite|en|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.

===References===

==Finnish==

===Etymology===
From {{inh|fi|urj-fin-pro|*mek}}, from {{inh|fi|urj-pro|*me}}. The word is inflected as plural, but there is no plural marker in the nominative, except in dialects ({{m-lite|fi|met}}).

===Pronunciation===
{{fi-pronunciation|a=LL-Q1412 (fin)-Susannaanas-me.wav}}

===Pronoun===
{{head-lite|fi|pronouns|cat2=personal pronouns}}

# [[we]]
#: {{ux-lite|inline=1|fi|'''Me''' emme unohda.|'''We''' will not forget.}}
#: {{ux-lite|inline=1|fi|Näin '''meidän''' kesken...|Just between '''us'''...}}
#: {{ux-lite|inline=1|fi|Mennäänkö '''meille'''?|Should we go over '''to our place'''?}}

====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 {{m-lite|fi|minä||I}}).
* See [[Appendix:Finnish dialectal variants of the personal pronouns|this appendix]] for information on the dialectal variants of {{m|fi||me}}.

====Inflection====
* Irregular (inflectional stem {{m-lite|fi||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, {{m-lite|fi|me}} and the other personal pronouns have a specific [[accusative]] form, {{m-lite|fi|meidät}}.
