Why can't I say con mí in Spanish?

With Me in Spanish: Conmigo

Written by Sofia Ramirez, Lead Spanish Curriculum Editor · Reviewed May 2026

Conmigo · pronoun · kohn-MEE-goh

Conmigo is a single Spanish word that means with me, fusing the preposition con (with) and the first-person pronoun into an inseparable unit. Unlike most prepositional pronouns in Spanish, conmigo cannot be broken apart: saying con mí or con yo is always incorrect. This merged form dates back to Latin and has no parallel in English grammar.

Conmigo is three syllables: kohn-MEE-goh, with stress on the second syllable. The g produces a hard g sound as in go.

¿Quieres venir conmigo al cine esta noche?

Do you want to come with me to the movies tonight?

How Native Speakers Use Conmigo

Avoid These Mistakes When Using Conmigo

Saying con mí instead of conmigo

Incorrect: ¿Puedes ir con mí a la tienda?

Correct: ¿Puedes ir conmigo a la tienda?

Con mí does not exist in Spanish. The preposition con fuses with the first-person pronoun to form the single word conmigo. This rule also applies to contigo (with you) and consigo (with himself/herself).

Using con yo

Incorrect: Ella quiere hablar con yo.

Correct: Ella quiere hablar conmigo.

Yo is a subject pronoun and cannot follow prepositions in Spanish. After con, the merged form conmigo is mandatory. This is a fundamental Spanish grammar rule with no exceptions.
