¿Yo or mí? ¿Tú or ti?

Reminder: personal pronouns generally go before the verb.

Yo tengo 100 años.

I am 100 years old.

Nosotros estamos en la piscina.

We are in the swimming pool.

When it comes after a preposition, yo changes to mí, and tú to ti.

No puedo vivir sin tú ti.

I can't live without you.

Hazlo por yo mí.

Do it for me.

The only exception is the prepositions hasta (until, even), entre (between, among) and según (according to). After them, we use yo and tú.

Hasta yo sé hacerlo.

Even I know how to do it.

Entre tú y Magda hay algo.

There is something between you and Magda.

Note: most of the time, personal pronouns are used only for emphasis or when there is a risk of ambiguity. The rest of the time they are implicit and are inferred from the conjugation of the verb.

(Yo) Soy de Bolivia.

I am from Bolivia.

(Ellos) Van al supermercado.

They go to the supermarket.
