/ʝo i kjen/from spelling rules
The phrase yo y quién is the Spanish way to say "me and who".
This phrase is used to express a desire to be in a romantic relationship similar to one shown in a picture.
Did you know?
- If you were to use this phrase in a formal letter rather than a meme, you would likely be corrected because starting a sentence with yo can sometimes sound overly self-centered in Spanish culture.
- The conjunction y changes to e if the following word starts with the 'i' sound, though this does not happen in yo y quién because quién starts with a 'k' sound.
- The word quién uses an accent mark to distinguish the question form from the relative pronoun 'quien', a distinction that does not exist in the English word 'who'.

- IPA marked “from spelling rules” is derived from standard Spanish spelling, where Wiktionary gives none.
