Si dice "you and I" o "you and me"?

Entrambe sono corrette. Si usano però in contesti diversi:

  • you and I si usa quando deve funzionare da soggetto. Esempio: you and I are staying at home (io e te restiamo a casa/stiamo restando a casa). In pratica, prova a usare solo I come soggetto della frase: se va bene, allora anche you and I andrà bene. Nell'esempio di prima, I am staying home funziona altrettanto bene, al contrario di me am staying home . Quindi you and I è corretto;
  • you and me si usa invece quando funziona da oggetto: there are only you and me here (ci siamo solo io e te qui). Anche qui, prova a sostituire l'intera espressione con solo me : there is only me here . L'altra opzione (there is only I here ) non funziona bene.

In pratica, la differenza riguarda i cosiddetti pronomi personali:

  • I è un subject pronoun e funziona, appunto, come un soggetto alla pari di thou , he , she , we , they .
  • me è invece un object pronoun e funziona da oggetto in una frase, per esempio come him , her , us , them .

EDIT (12–6–2020) : apparently, such an innocent answer has been drawing a few (uncalled for?) comments that focus on my examples rather than the heart of the matter. Should y'all have better answers to the aforementioned question, which is the whole point, do please write your own ( in Italian , mind you. Show me your talent). That is what Quora is for - sharing knowledge.

Thanks.
