Questions & Answers about Mi compañero revisa el calendario cada mañana.
Why is it mi compañero and not mío compañero or el compañero mío?
Mi is the unstressed possessive adjective, used directly before a noun: mi compañero, mi casa, mi libro.
- Mío is a stressed possessive pronoun/adjective and normally appears:
- After the noun: el compañero mío (more emphatic or contrastive)
- Alone instead of the noun: el mío (mine)
So:
- mi compañero = my colleague / my partner (neutral, most common)
- el compañero mío = a colleague of mine (more emphasis or contrast)
- el mío = mine
In your sentence, you just want the basic "my colleague", so mi compañero is correct.
What exactly does compañero mean? Is it colleague, friend, partner, or something else?
