Questions  +  153480 Mon, 31 Oct 05 12:14 PM When labeling a photograph in a picture album - of you and a friend, for example, would you say "Samantha and me" or "Samantha and I" or "Samantha and myself"? Questions Joined on Mon, Oct 31 2005 New Member 02

	Waïti  +  153500 Mon, 31 Oct 05 01:38 PM I'd go for 'me', not 'I'. Going back to definitions, you'd find 'me' is used as an object whereas 'I' is used as a subject. In your case since it is not a complete sentence it is hard to say whether we're dealing with a subject or object. But it is likely that what you mean is "(This is a picture of) Samantha and me" with the first part obviously implied and not spoken/written ; in which case what we have here is indeed an object. Hope all this makes sense ? Waïti Joined on Thu, Aug 25 2005 Regular Member 568

	nona the brit  +  153538 Mon, 31 Oct 05 03:19 PM I'd use me as well. Definitely NOT myself (this does not mean me/I) nona the brit Joined on Wed, Sep 22 2004 England Veteran Member 11,713 The name says it all.

	YoHf  +  154873 Thu, 03 Nov 05 09:33 PM Well, actually, if we are following strictly grammar rules we'd have to say: "Samantha and I"...                                         However I don't think your friends are gonna blame you if you'll say: "Samantha and Me" YoHf Joined on Wed, Oct 26 2005 Senior Member 3,347 Shinichi Okazaki.

	Stannum  +  154892 Thu, 03 Nov 05 10:17 PM 'Samantha and I' would be correct according to the so called rules of grammer and syntax but my experience is that it sounds toffy-nosed when used in general and 'Samantha and me' sounds far warmer and more personal robert rules are meant to be mangled Stannum Joined on Fri, Oct 28 2005 Melbourne Australia Regular Member 526

	Waïti  +  155058 Fri, 04 Nov 05 09:11 AM Just for clarification, mister/missis Question, this all depends on whether you meant to say : "Samantha and I (were on the beach when this picture was taken)" or "(This is a picture of) Samantha and me (when we were on the beach)" It seems natives (see above) would have a preference for number 2.

	mohan_p  +  155172 Fri, 04 Nov 05 04:40 PM I would second Waiti. What you would use would depend on the context. If someone asked "Whose pictures are these on the beach", you would say "Samantha and me" because it completes the sentence, this is a picture of Samantha and me on the  beach. If someone asked, who broke the window pane and if both of you happen to be the culprits, you would reply - "Samantha and I" because it completes the sentence - Samanta and I broke the the glass pane. To say that "Me broke the glass pane" would be incorrect and hence in this case you would not reply with "Samantha and Me" The answer is based on something I read to this effect long back and more aware grammarians are free to correct me if I am wrong. -Mohan mohan_p Joined on Wed, Jul 28 2004 Everywhere New Member 30

	MrPedantic  +  155562 Sun, 06 Nov 05 01:57 AM Hello Questions If the label is intended for you, you know who you are already. So you only need to put "Samantha". If the label is intended for other people, on the other hand, neither "I" nor "me" will be much use.  So I'd put "Samantha and Questions". (If "Questions" is indeed your name.)
