plural form of conmigo?

plural form of conmigo?

conmigo = with me
Is there a proper equivalent single-word form for "with us" and/or "with them"?

The website dictionary was of no help with this one, in fact it even has a little trouble defining "with me" once you enter "conmigo" in the spanish side smile

Thank you.

Sorry, I thought you meant se when you wrote si.

Yes, si is (also) used when referring to a person or animal or thing/inanimated object, as mentioned by Millie and Cherry.

You could translate si in those cases by itself, himself, herself, themselves, etc.
it moved by itself = se movió por si solo
he did it to himself = él se lo hizo a si mismo

Hope this helps also.

I say it this way.
El mismo lo hizo.
He did it himself.
Who cut David's hair? El mismo lo hizo. El mismo se lo corto.

Why is he dressing so neatly these days?
El lo hizo por si mismo.
He did it for himself.

No not se, si meaning himself, herself & I suppose itself

If he/she takes something with him/her you say: el/ella lleva algo consigo

consigo means, with him/her

se meaning himself/herself: lavarse, to wash oneself, would become: el se lava/ella se lava

anything that someone (I, you, he/she, we, you, they) does to him/herself; there are many verbs that can show that that particular action is one that a person does do him/herself, like: sentarse, irse, levantarse, dormirse, irritarse, enfurecerse, and there are many more.

I hope this helps.

Voces or anyone
Please give some examples using consigo & si (meaning himself, herself) & I don't really understand the difference between the 2 meanings, it seems they both mean the same thing.,
