comigo

Comigo is a Portuguese prepositional pronoun meaning "with me." It is a contracted form formed from the preposition com and the first-person pronoun, used after the preposition to indicate accompaniment or association with the speaker. It functions as an object pronoun in sentences rather than as a subject.

In typical usage, comigo appears after the preposition com and is common in everyday phrases. Examples include "Vem comigo" (Come with me), "Pode falar comigo?" (Can you talk with me?), and "Não discuta comigo" (Don’t argue with me). The form is generally fixed and does not vary with mood or tense itself, though the surrounding verbs change.

Other related contracted forms exist in Portuguese to express similar ideas with different people: contigo means "with you," and consigo means "with him/her/you (formal)." In some dialects and varieties, there are additional forms such as conosco or convosco to mean "with us" or "with you (plural)," though usage varies by region and standard written norms.

Etymology and related notes: Comigo is the standard contraction of com + mim (the object pronoun form used after prepositions). It should not be confused with the Spanish palabra conmigo (conmigo), which serves a similar function in Spanish but belongs to a different language system.
