mi

Mi is the first-person singular possessive determiner in Spanish, always placed before the noun it modifies. Unlike the stressed pronoun mío/mía, which can follow the noun or stand alone, mi is a clitic form that never carries an accent mark and cannot appear without a following noun.

A common pitfall for English speakers is confusing mi (my) with mí (me, stressed pronoun used after prepositions). "A mi me gusta" is a typical spoken error - the correct written form is "A mí me gusta," where mí carries an accent to distinguish it from the possessive determiner.
