How to Say “Me” in Hindi

मुझे
mujhe/mʊ.d͡ʒʱeː/
The Hindi phrase for "me" is मुझे (mujhe).
मुझे is the objective form of the pronoun used to refer to the speaker.

Which one should you use?

Use मुझे when "me" is the object of a verb or preposition. In contrast, use मैं when "I" is the subject.

How do you pronounce it?

The word is pronounced /mʊ.dʒʱeː/ (mujhe).

Did you know?

  • Hindi has a 'split' ergative system. This means that in the past tense, the word for 'I' changes, and मुझे can appear in sentence structures where an English speaker would strictly use 'I'.
  • While मुझे means 'me', it is often the most natural way to say 'I want' or 'I need' in Hindi. Instead of saying 'I have a desire', you say 'To me, desire is', which translates literally as 'to me'.
  • While मुझे means 'me', adding a tiny vowel change to create मुझको makes the word more emphatic. It is often used in Bollywood songs and poetry to add emotional weight to a request.
