Is (it) there another way to say I in Spanish.?

I put "is there" como "hay" in español because the "it" is confusing.

Hope you don't mind.

You don't need to use "Yo" all the time unless you want to have emphasis. For example:

Yo tengo dos hijas...drop the "yo" Tengo dos hijas is enough. This applies just about everwhere in Spain at least. the "I" is included already in the "o" ending, as i n : tengo, hago quiero escribo etc etc.

In addition to what others said, you can also say "mi" depending on what you're saying. For example, if you say "Do you have something for me?" You would say "Tienes algo para mi?" not "Tienes algo para yo?" I guess the difference you just need to memorize.

You need an accent mark: mí = me, mi = my. - gintar77, Jun 14, 2011

When using "I" as your speaker, you can use [but don't overuse raspberry] "yo". Also, make sure you use the "yo" form of the verb you're using.

Good question. I hope I helped.
