How to Say "Me" in Norwegian - How To Say Guide

meg

The English phrase "me" is translated into Norwegian as meg.

meg is the object form of the pronoun used by a speaker to refer to themselves.

Which one should you use?

Use jeg when the speaker is the subject of the sentence and meg when the speaker is the object of a verb or preposition.

In the western parts of Norway, Mæ is an informal variant. Additionally, Æ is an informal way to say "me" used in specific regional dialects.

meg is the object form of the first-person singular pronoun jeg (I).

In many Norwegian dialects, the distinction between the subject 'I' jeg and the object 'me' meg disappears entirely in favor of a single word like æ or eg.
While meg is standard, using the dialect forms mæ or æ in an Oslo coffee shop might make you sound like you are from a rural coastal village.
While meg is the standard object form, some Norwegian speakers use a 'reflexive' pronoun meg in positions where English would strictly use 'myself'.
