Chinese Lesson: How to Say and Write "I" in Chinese
 
The Chinese symbol for "I" or "me" is 我 (wǒ). While the English language has separate terms that differentiate between "me" and "I", Chinese is simpler. One character, 我, represents both "me" and "I" in the Chinese language.
For example, 我饿了 (wǒ è le) means "I am hungry." On the other hand, 给我 (gěi wǒ) translates to "give me."
 
Radical
The Chinese character 我 (wǒ) is composed of 手 (shǒu), which means hand, and 戈 (gē), which is a dagger-like tool. In this case, 手 is used here in the form of 扌, the hand radical. Thus, 我 appears as a hand holding a little spear.
 
Pronunciation
我 (wǒ) is pronounced using the third tone. This tone has a falling-rising quality.
 
Character Evolution
An early form of 我 showed two spears crossing. This symbol evolved into its present form over time. Depicting a hand holding a spear, the Chinese character for "I" is a symbol of ego assertion and therefore an appropriate representation of “I" or "me.”
 
Mandarin Vocabulary with 我
Here are five examples of common Chinese phrases that incorporate the character 我:
我们 (wǒ men) - We; us; ourselves
我自己 (wǒ zì jǐ) - Myself
我的 (wǒ de) - Mine
我明白 (wǒ míngbái) - I understand
我也是 (wǒ yěshì) - Me too
