The word "meself" is a dialectal variation of the pronoun "myself" commonly used in some regional and informal varieties of English, particularly in Ireland and parts of Scotland and England. It is primarily employed in casual speech or writing and is best understood as a colloquial or nonstandard form.
Used as a reflexive pronoun, "meself" is an alternative way to refer to the speaker in the first person singular form. It indicates that the action or state described by the verb is performed or experienced by the speaker. For instance, in the sentence "I'll do it meself," the use of "meself" is equivalent to "myself" and emphasizes that the speaker will personally undertake the task.
The word "meself" is characterized by the replacement of the standard English form "myself" with an altered pronunciation, adhering to regional accents and dialectal variations. It exhibits the informal and relaxed nature of spoken language, particularly in contexts where speakers may use colloquial grammar and vocabulary.
While "meself" may be widely understood among native speakers within certain regions, it is considered nonstandard in formal contexts and standard English. Its usage is thus mostly restricted to informal speech, writing, and dialect literature.
The word "meself" is a contraction of "myself" in certain dialects of English, particularly in Irish English and some regional accents of England. The etymology of "myself" is rooted in Old English, where "me" was the objective form of the pronoun "I" and "self" referred to the individual or personal identity.
Over time, the words "me" and "self" merged to form the compound pronoun "myself". In some dialects, particularly those influenced by Irish English, the first-person singular pronoun "me" is used instead of "my" before "self", resulting in the contraction "meself". It is mainly a feature of informal speech and regional dialects rather than standard English.
