Grammar Rule in 30 Seconds
When using a preposition, use the full (stressed) form of the pronoun, not the short (clitic) form.
- Use stressed pronouns after prepositions: 'с мен' (with me), not 'с ме'.
- Stressed pronouns are: мен, теб, него, нея, нас, вас, тях.
- Always place the preposition directly before the stressed pronoun.

If a preposition you see, use 'мен' instead of 'ме'!
