Did you know?
- The character 也 (yě) was originally a pictograph of a snake. Over centuries, its meaning shifted from a concrete object to a grammatical particle meaning 'also'.
- While 我也是 works for positive statements, you cannot use it to agree with a negative sentence. To say 'me neither', you must change the phrase to 我也不是 or 我也不 depending on the verb.
- In many Chinese-speaking regions, if you want to say 'me too' in response to someone being hungry or tired, you might simply repeat the adjective they used, like 饿 (è), rather than using the full 'me too' structure.
