Me too vs. me neither (私も) 中級


Me too vs. Me neither

日本語

A:寿司が好きです。
B:私も。

A:なっとが好きじゃないです。

B:私も。

English

A: I like sushi.
B: Me too

A: I don't like natto.
B: Me neither.



If a statement is negative ~ don't, can't, never for example ~ and we want to say that also applies to us, we need to say "Me neither" in English. Me too is only for positive statements.

A: I can't speak German.
B: Me neither.

A: I have never been to Australia.
B: Me neither.

*When the subject of your sentence is someone else, it's common for the word neither to start the sentence. Please look at these examples:

A: Fred isn't good at soccer.
B: Neither is Mike.

A: My grandfather won't use a computer.
B: Neither will mine.

These are also acceptable:

A: I can't speak German.
B: Neither can I.

A: I have never been to Australia.
B: Neither have I.
