Questions & Answers about Dormi da me?
Why does da me translate to "at my place"?
In Italian, using the preposition da followed by a pronoun or a person's name means "at that person's house" or "at their place". So, da me means "at my place", and da Marco means "at Marco's place".
Why use me here instead of io or mi?
After a preposition like da, you must use a "tonic" (or strong) pronoun. You cannot use the subject word io (I), and you cannot use the weak object word mi. Instead, you always use the strong form me.
