If a friend was going somewhere and you wanted to go....would you say,"May I go with you?" or would you say,"May I go with?"
Which is correct? I hear people leave off the last word..in this case,with...but it sounds very silly that way. Thanks for the input and ya'll have a wonderful day!!

If there is one person you would like to go with, then you say, "May I go with you?"....If it is more than one person then you would say, "May I go with y'all?"....People who leave off the last word, need to seek an English teacher and go back to school.

May I go with you? is the correct way to say this question. You should not end any sentence with the word, "with".

The first is correct. But, you could also address a person with just May I go?

In English - may I go with you? - is correct
"May I go with" sounds to me like rather a pretentious literal translation of an expression that means the same thing in another language.
For example "Darf ich mit gehen?" means what you said in German - they don't include the word "you", we do

A sentence has to have an object and a subject otherwise it isn't a sentence. So "may I go with?" is meaningless. And silly.
Who am I to talk, I would have said "Can I come?"

"May I go with you?" is correct. With is a preposition & a preposition always has an object. Without adding you, there is no object of the preposition. Had you said, "Can I go with?" I would have said it is a further example of the English language being mutilated.

"May i go with you" is definately the correct one. Depending on wer u r, however, if u use the other phrase, u wil stil b understood. South Africans, for example would often say "come with"
Hope this helps!
