English
English also exhibits grammatical behavior which may be described as instances of the comitative case. The most prominent example is with the first person singular pronoun, although higher registers tend to avoid this usage via editing:
- My dad and I haven't ever really been close.
- Me and my wife's favorite fish is mackerel.
