edhe unë
The English phrase "me too" is translated into Albanian as edhe unë.
This phrase is used to express that something mentioned by another person also applies to you.
Meaning: that applies to me as well (phrase)
What does it mean word for word?
The phrase is composed of edhe meaning "also/even" and unë meaning "I".
Which one should you use?
edhe unë is used when you are the subject of the implied verb, such as responding to "I am hungry" with "Me too". In contrast, you should use edhe mua when you are the object of the implied verb, such as responding to "He saw me" with "He saw me too".
How does it change in a sentence?
You must choose between the nominative form unë and the oblique form mua based on the preceding statement. If the statement uses a preposition or a verb that requires the accusative or dative case (for example, "He likes me"), you must use the oblique form edhe mua instead of edhe unë.
