How to Say "Also" in Portuguese

também

/tɐ̃ˈbẽj̃/

The English word "also" is translated into Portuguese as também.

também is used to indicate that something else is true or occurs in addition to what has already been mentioned.

How does it change in a sentence?

In Portuguese, também can be placed either before or after the verb it modifies, though placing it after the verb is very common in spoken language.

/tɐ̃ˈbẽj̃/

The Portuguese word também shares a direct ancestral root with the English phrase 'as well'. Both expressions essentially evolved from the concept of something being 'as good' or 'as well' as the first thing mentioned.
In casual Brazilian Portuguese, you will often hear people replace também with the word igualmente when responding to a greeting or a wish, such as 'have a nice day'.
If you use também at the very beginning of a sentence, it can sometimes shift the meaning from 'also' to 'likewise' or 'even'.
