Contraction
m-am
- contraction of mă (“me”, first person singular accusative or reflexive pronoun) + am (“have”, first person singular auxiliary verb forming the compund perfect)
- M-am trezit devreme.
- I woke up early.
- M-am văzut pe mine însumi în vis.

Usage notes
The contraction can only involve am as the auxiliary verb that forms the compound perfect tense. In the unlikely case in which am is a predicative verb (“I have myself”), the contraction is not grammatical.
