나도
na-do
In Korean, "me too" is expressed as 나도 (na-do).
The phrase is used to indicate that something applies to the speaker as well.
Meaning: that applies to me as well (phrase)
What does it mean word for word?
The expression 나도 is composed of the pronoun 나 (I) and the particle 도 (also/too).
Which one should you use?
While 나도 is the casual way to say "me too", you should use 저도 if you want to be polite, such as when speaking to someone older or in a formal setting. The phrase 나도 그래 functions as a more complete sentence, meaning "I am also like that" or "I am like that too".
Is there a formal and an informal way to say it?
나도 is the informal version used among friends or with people younger than you. For a common and neutral way to express "me too" in formal situations, you can use 저도요.
How does it change in a sentence?
Adding 그래 (is so/is like that) to 나도 creates the phrase 나도 그래, which makes the expression a more complete sentence.
How do you pronounce it?
na-do
Did you know?
- In Korean pop culture and dramas, characters often elongate the vowel in 나도 to sound more cute or pleading, a style known as 'aegyo'.
- When agreeing with a negative statement, such as 'I don't like this', Korean speakers still use 나도 rather than a separate word for 'neither'.
- While 나도 means 'me too', using the particle 도 in other contexts can change the nuance to 'even', as in 'even a child knows'.
