What does it mean when someone says "It is I."?

@basilfawlty89 yes I have Persian accent when I talk but when I teach and my jaw warms up it becomes British 🤭

@Nanori voice example or it didn't happen

@basilfawlty89 come sit at my classes or stfu

@Quizzical isn't the one with I subjective and me for objective sentences?

@Nanori I've no idea about the technical sides of language, I just know what sounds right, lol

@Nanori Linking verbs such as "is", "was", and so on should be followed by a subjective (= nominative case, in normal languages).

@SW-User I feel old now, lol

@Moonpenny 😂

@SW-User Envious, lol

@CrazyMusicLover My pleasure. I would not use this phrase as it is very old fashioned and sounds pretentious.

@MeowsoliniReturns It does sound strange to me as I never heard it in spoken speech. Since it was said by a character in a book I wasn't sure if this character didn't know proper English or it was supposed to be pompous. Now I know that the latter is true.

@CrazyMusicLover Ohhhhh. Yes, it is often used in books and plays.

@Ryannnnnn 😏
