"Here I come" - It doesn't make sense!?

Just you. There are a ton of phrases handed down to us through the ages that sound rather odd in modern English, but we hold to them and cherish them anyway. That is completely characteristic of English and our historical nostalgia accounts for many an anomaly, such as the silent gh and phrases like "as it were" and even "pretty damn good" when you stop to think about it.

How so woefully true... :-( @"Yes by Benjamin Franklin" Ummm..."common sense" should have told you that a large number of terms and idioms used in this piece didn't even exist in Franklin's time.

Here I Come Meaning

Wow.

First, "here" isn't used as a location <aka noun> for this statement.

"Here" is used as an adverb giving direction.

To come would be the second portion of the phrase. To come means, "to approach or move toward a particular person or place."

It's not necessarily used in only the first person to give a command. But you can say it when referencing someone else.

So yes, the phrase, "Here I come" does make sense.

The English Language is indeed the hardest to learn, I feel bad for people who have to learn it as their 2nd language, its not easy. A lot of things 'we' say, do not make sense.

here i go,,,yeah ur right if you think about it long enough it's confusing,
