ME – ME, FOR/TO ME
Me is a Spanish object.
It is usually translated into English as “me” or “to/for me.”
The object pronoun me can be used to replace direct and indirect objects.
Let’s see some examples!
• Élla me pinta. (me as a direct object)
• Ella me pinta un paisaje. (me as an indirect object)
In the first sentence, I mean that I am being portrayed by a painter.
The second example means that a painter is making a painting for me.
Me is not the only Spanish word that works as a direct and indirect object.
The pronouns te, nos, os work the same way, too.
Let’s see some examples!
• Ana te mandó una carta.
• Ana sent you a letter.
• Ana nos mandó una carta.
• Ana sent us a letter.
• Ana os mandó una carta.
• Ana sent you [all] a letter.
