"Vedo me stesso."

Translation: I see myself.

[magofa]

I don't understand why stesso is in this sentence. Can someone explain.

[ziggKogg]

me stesso means myself

[dmoles]

I thought 'stesso' meant "the same" as in "lo stesso"

[giovanna60615]

It does, but it ALSO is used to form "myself", "herself", "themselves", etc.

[Puzzle36714]

Haha i thought si stesso meant "myself"!

[magofa]

Thank you. I thought myself was "mi"

[JohnG.3]

"mi vedo" anche vuol dire "vedo me stesso"? se no, perché? forse che "me stesso" sia più enfatico o riflessivo?

[prometheuslabob]

me stesso: myself;
te stesso: yourself;
se stessa: herself;
se stesso: himself/itself;
noi stessi: ourselves;
voi stessi: yourselves;
loro stessi: themselves.

I've studied this sentence and the best I can come up with it that "me" is a disjunctive pronoun. Here is used after the verb for stress. I see myself (not him). Is that right?

[MartinHawk4]

I think the point is 'me stesso' together means myself.

[SusieOpperia]

Thanks, but why is myself me stesso and not mi stesso?
