==Italian==

===Alternative forms===
* {{alt|it|eo||archaic}}
* {{alt|it|jo||obsolete}}

===Etymology===
{{inh+|it|LL.|eo|id=I}}, from {{inh|it|CL.|egō̆}}.

===Pronunciation===
{{it-pr|ìo<audio:It-io.ogg>}}

===Pronoun===
{{head|it|pronoun|personal||first person||possessive|mio}}

# [[I]] (the first-person singular nominative pronoun)

====Usage notes====
* Italian being a [[pro-drop language]], subject pronouns are mostly omitted, both in the written and spoken language, as the inflected verb is conjugated by person. An example would be: ''Mangio una mela'', which is much more common than '''''Io''' mangio una mela'', where the subject can be inferred from the inflected form ''mangio''; similarly ''È carina'' instead of '''''Lei''' è carina''. The explicit usage of personal pronouns may sound redundant to a native speaker, except when it is used in order to emphasize the subject. ('''''Io''' mangio una mela'' could be interpreted as '''''I''' am eating an apple and you are not'').
