־נִי
ni
Formal HebrewMeaningme. This is a small word part that you add to the end of a verb. It shows the action of the verb is happening to 'me'.
HistoryThis little ending comes from the oldest form of Hebrew, the language of the Bible. In the Bible, this was the main way to say 'me' when something was done to a person. Today, people usually say a separate word, 'אוֹתִי' (oti), but you will still see '-נִי' in songs, poems, and books.
Example
המלך קראני לבוא אליו
The king called me to come to him.
