"and" in spanish?

Question

Apparently saying "mi hermana y yo" is incorrect when I'm trying to say my sister and I. It has something to do with changing the y to something else, but what?

thanks in advance.

Answer 1

It's right to say "mi hemana y yo"

"Y" changes to "e" before a word which start with i or hi

Answer 2

Who did tell you that this is incorrect??
It is not. Mi hermana y yo is pretty well.
We use it that way, and you wrote it correctly
Even.the 2 Y together, havent the same sound...
If anyone tells you that it is incorrect, only ask him/her if they dont know the book from a great spanish writer called Juan Ramón Jímenez. That book is
PLATERO Y YO

Buena suerte.

Answer 3

It is perfectly correct. Mi hermana y yo.

Answer 4

i think that the way u put it is right i couldn't think of anything else u could put instead. Maybe " mi hermana e yo" but i really don't think so .

Answer 5

Psycho Dork. The translation for "My sister and I" is "Mi hermana y Yo". The translation for "and" is "y". My first tongue is Spanish.

Answer 6

You can use "y" or "e"... I don´t see anything wrong using the "y" just if you use another "i" ( in spanish) in the begining you need to use "e" like "Mi hermana e Ilse"

Answer 7

That's actually the correct way... I don't see anything wrong that...

y = and

Also, I was always thaught that you put your self last...
(ex: ellos y yo... Jose, Maria y yo)

You only use e instead of y when the first letter of the following word is i or makes the sound of i
(ex: el reporte e investigacion..., Mariana e Yvette (some people spell it like that...))

Answer 9

Answer 10

What you have is perfectly correct. The only
rule about "y" is that it changes to e before i and hi.
Hope that clears up the confusion!
