Native english speakers

Hi, so I have a question about grammar.
In my native language it's considered rude to say "I and my friend" or "me and my friend" as in putting yourself before the friend.
Is it that way in English too? English class didn't teach us about that and I have no idea how to find this in the internet so please help a girl out here!!

Um yeah. It'd be more grammatically correct to say "my friend and i" If you say "me and my friend" people wouldn't get offended or anything and people say it more in conversation Hope this helps (*ゝω･*) 1 reply

No, it isn't considered offensive. It's grammatically improper as it's supposed to be "My friend and I." but no one really follows that grammar rule and no one really cares unless there's a teacher who's a real stickler. 1 reply

Sometimes it helps to remove the person/people in the sentence and see if it still makes sense. For example, “my friend and I read manga” vs “my friend and me read manga”. If you remove "my friend and", the options are "I read manga" (correct) or "me read manga" (incorrect). If you said “me and my friend read manga” that sounds complet...... 1 reply
