"me" meaning in French

See me in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Pronoun

IPA: /mə/, /mø/ Audio: Fr-me.ogg
Rhymes: -ə Etymology: From Middle French me, from Old French me, from Latin mē (accusative of ego), from Proto-Indo-European *h₁me- (“me”). Northern dialects have preserved a form mi for the indirect object (also found in Old French in the Oaths of Strasbourg), from Latin mihi, dative singular of ego, through a Vulgar Latin *mi, whereas in standard French, it has merged into me.
