What does “yo” mean in English?
I
I (subject pronoun)
Example sentences
Yo estudio español.
I study Spanish.
Yo vivo aquí.
I live here.
How to use it
Yo means 'I'. Spanish often leaves subject pronouns out because the verb ending already shows the person, but yo is useful for emphasis and beginner clarity.
Common mistake
Do not force yo into every Spanish sentence. Spanish can simply say estudio when the meaning is clear.
