Simple translation request

Post by riv »

Hello,

I am trying to confirm the correct spelling for "Why not me?"

I've consistently have seen 1. Perche non io and 2. Perche non me

Personally I thought 1 was correct but now I've looked so much into it I have overthought it and was seeking anyones help. Than you for your time!

The correct spelling is "Perché non io?".
I cannot find a sentence where "Perché non me" would be correct, could you give me an example you found?

Penso che si potrebbe fare, quando "me" è complemento oggetto.

"Non capisco perché hai mandato lei. Perché non me?"
