me
The one speaking
Me is the objective case of I—used when the speaker is the object of a verb or preposition: Give it to me, She told me.
In informal speech, me often replaces I: Me and him went out.
Reflexively: I'm not feeling like myself—I'm just not me today. (ME is Maine or myalgic encephalomyelitis.)
