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

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

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

          Thank you. I thought myself was "mi"

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

            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?

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

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