"Me" not "yo"

Question

Me voy de vacaciones. ?

Yo voy de vacaciones. ×

¿Por que?

Answer 1

Because,in your example, me is reflexive pronoun,first person,singular.The reflexive pronoun always accompanies the reflexive verbs:

IRSE = TO GO

Me voy = I go

Te vas = You go

El / Ella se va = He / She goes

Usted se va = You go

Ustedes se van = You go

Yo is personal pronoun,first person,singular.Yo = I

IR = TO GO

Yo voy = I go

Tú vas = You go

El / Ella va = He /She goes

Usted va = You go

Ustedes = You go

Porque,en tu ejemplo, me es pronombre reflexivo,primera persona,singular.El pronombre reflexivo siempre accompaña a los verbos pronominales (los verbos reflexivos):

Me voy = I go

Te vas = You go

El / Ella se va = He / She goes

Usted se va = You go

Ustedes se van = You go

Yo es pronombre personal,primera persona,singular. Yo = I

IR = TO GO

Yo voy = I go

Tú vas = You go

El / Ella va = He /She goes

Usted va = You go

Ustedes = You go

Answer 2

Because me voy is from the pronominal verb irse - to go away, instead of just ir - to go

¡Gracias! BTW,the pronominal verbs in Spanish are really hard. - GuapoLee, May 4, 2012
