I hear people say "you and I" all the time, but I'm not sure if that is the proper way to say it. Can someone please tell me the proper way to say "you and I"?

The proper way to say "you and I" is "you and me."

Representing yourself and someone else as the subjects of a sentence using the pronoun "you" is called the "royal we." The royal we is used by a single person as a way to include themselves along with the other person or people they are referring to. It can also be used by more than one person to refer to themselves collectively. In general, the royal we is seen as a more formal way of speaking.
