Questions & Answers about Me regaló un marcapáginas de papel con flores azules.

What does me mean in this sentence?

Me is the indirect object pronoun meaning to me.

So Me regaló... literally means something like He/She gave ... to me as a gift.

With regalar, Spanish often uses an indirect object pronoun:

• Me regaló = he/she gave me as a present
• Te regaló = he/she gave you as a present
• Nos regaló = he/she gave us as a present

Why is there no subject pronoun like él or ella?

Spanish often leaves out subject pronouns when they are clear from the verb form or from context.

Regaló is a third-person singular form, so the subject could be:

• él = he
• ella = she
• usted = you (formal)

So the sentence could mean:

• He gave me a paper bookmark with blue flowers
• She gave me a paper bookmark with blue flowers
• You (formal) gave me a paper bookmark with blue flowers

Context tells you which one it is.
