Answer 1

Welcome to the forum walbergb. You will learn more about "me" and "mi' in future lessons.

"Me" is for direct and indirect object pronouns, while "mi" is the possessive form. Click here and here for "me" and here for "mi". These are Spanish grammar lessons in English.

Answer 2

You are so correct. A simple answer that answers the majority of the question is not as useful as the complicated, that theoretically answers much more but fails to communicate.

Someone who is asking the difference between me and mi, obviously is at a basic stage so the complicated answer is clearly the way to go.

Well done.

Answer 3

Oh, so my answer was deleted for daring to challenge the pompusness of this websire.

me is me

mi is my

Now, how simple is that.

Well, even I had thought it to be just as straightforward but then how does one explain a construct such as “a mí”? - amitsch, Oct 11, 2013

You answer was deleted probably because you was being disrespectful, just like you are being now. Your answer is annoying and, what is worse: is wrong. You understand that, don't you? You are wrong. Now you had your portion of attention. Happy now? - RelaxingCup, Oct 11, 2013

Answer 4

If me = me and mi = my, then why is me used with my first name and mí with my last name?

Me nombre es Bob o Me llamo Bob.

Mí apellido es Walberg.
