why does "you" and "I" have many spanish words for them?

Question

you in spansh is que, tu and ti. I in spanish is le, te, and me. my question is which you in spanish and which I in spanish is the right one to use?

Que never means you. Just so you know. It's tough learning any foreign language. Good on you for trying. - webdunce, Nov 23, 2010

Answer 1

I in spanish is le, te, and me

Le and te never mean "yo" or "I" in Spanish

Yo, me, mí would be analogous to Tú, te, ti or Ud. (subject pronoun), se, le, lo, Ud. (object of preposition pronoun) for You. (ignoring voseo for the moment).

Spanish personal pronouns

And, yes, it is confusing. You did not even mention the plural forms of You. Spanish says you informally, formally, in singular and in plural and uses different forms for which type of pronoun (part of speech) that it is being used as.

Le and te can never mean I, but both can certainly mean you. - webdunce, Nov 23, 2010

Answer 2

I, me, my, mine. Similar choices in Spanish (yo, me/a mí, mi, mio(a). The only real differences is that Spanish has distinct pronouns for the direct and indirect object.
