how to say i in spanish

The word for "I" in Spanish is "yo". However, in Spanish, the subject pronoun "yo" is often omitted because the verb conjugation itself usually indicates the subject is "I." For example, instead of saying "Yo tengo dos perros" (I have two dogs), it is common to say simply "Tengo dos perros" as the verb form "tengo" already implies the first-person subject. You might use "yo" for emphasis or clarity, but most of the time it is not necessary to say it explicitly.
