What does "J'y" mean?

J'y is a contraction of the first person pronoun "Je" or "I" in english and the pronoun/preposition "y", which has a few meanings depending on context

Obviously wrong
Explanation is not enough
Written in a language I can't understand
Answer is not related to the question
Other reason
- French (France)
"Y" replaces a place if this one is known, to not repeat it.
"Je vais au parc" = "I go to the park"
"Tu étais au parc? - Oui j'y étais" = "Did you go to the park? - Yes I was there (at the park)"
When it's "je" we say "j'y" but for the others person pronoun it's:
"Tu y..." "Il/elle/on y..." "Nous y..." "Vous y..." "Ils/elles y..."

Y replaces not only places but things introduced by à/au/aux
Je vais à la piscine _ j'y vais
Je pense à fermer la porte _ j'y pense
Je me consacre à mon travail _ je m'y consacre
but not persons
je pense à Marie _ je pense à elle
je parle à Paul _ je lui parle

@lrcelaya for example: j’y vais (I go there). J’ is the contraction of “Je” and “y” refers to the place you’re going to.

J'y suis = I'm there
J'y suis né = I was born there
J'y pense = I'm thinking about it
J'y arriverai = I'll manage to do it/this
"Y" is a pronoun that can replace a location, but also a person or a thing. It depends of the context
