As previously explained, the meaning of me is 'I' or 'myself' in Indonesian language. Me itself is one of the subjects used in English to express the object of 'I' or 'myself'. However, besides me, there are also words like 'I', 'my', 'mine', and 'myself' which also have the same meaning.

Now, what about their usage? Yes, the meaning of me and I is actually the same. However, KLovers must know how to use these two words properly in a sentence. The usage of I and me has a slight difference in a sentence.

The word I is actually only used when we talk about ourselves as the subject. The subject always comes at the beginning of the sentence, so we will never find the word I at the end of a sentence. Meanwhile, Me is used as an object, which is generally placed at the end of a sentence. For example, 'I never saw her again' and 'He went to the party with me'.

3. The Use of My and Mine

So, what about the use of My and Mine? Yes, both of these words have a similar meaning to Me, both express I or me. However, My and Mine show ownership of an object.

The difference is that My is a possessive adjective, while Mine is a possessive pronoun. Like other adjectives, My must be followed by a noun, such as my book, my car, my house, and so on.

As a pronoun, Mine does not need to be followed by a noun. For example, That book is mine and I eat from my plate.

4. The Use of Myself

And lastly, there's Myself which also has the same meaning as Me. Yes, Myself also has a similar meaning, but the word Myself is more towards oneself.
