is "mi" first person in spanish?

Question

Is "mí" a first person subject pronoun in spanish?

Answer 1

To the best of my limited understanding of español at this point -

Mí is normally used as an adjective (it describes a noun) to indicate possesion. For example, mí maleta - my suitcase, mí casa - my house, and as Festus said when cornered in the old TV show Gunsmoke after bragging that he could speak spanish, "Mí sombrero es rojo." Of course, that happened to be the extent of his vocabulary. Doc and Kitty weren't particularly impressed...

Mí = my and when you want to refer to me as in gave me a lesson, or sent me to school - you use me (the principle difference being that me in spanish is pronounced like the English word may).

Answer 2

mí is the first person singular prepositional object pronoun mi (no accent mark) is first person singular possessive pronoun

Izanoni´s links above should prove very useful.

I would have said this directly, but I always feel guilty in telling someone outright what is uncomplex and easily looked up, especially when the question appears to be a homework problem. - Izanoni1, Aug 31, 2009
