Ways to say it

“me too” in Portuguese
Portuguese IPA
eu também /ˈew tɐ̃ˈbẽj̃/ (Brazil, word by word)
a mim também /a ˈmĩ tɐ̃ˈbẽj̃/ (word by word)

The phrase is used to indicate that a statement or situation applies to you as well.

Which one should you use?

eu também is used when the preceding verb is a standard transitive or intransitive verb where the subject is "I". In contrast, a mim também is used depending on the specific requirements of the verb's structure.

How does it change in a sentence?

Use eu também when the preceding verb is a standard transitive or intransitive verb where the subject is "I", such as in the phrase Eu quero (I want).

How do you pronounce it?

/ˈew tɐ̃ˈbẽj̃/

What mistakes should you avoid?

English speakers often attempt to translate "me too" literally as mim também, but this is incorrect because mim cannot function as a subject. Depending on the verb's requirement, you must use either eu também or a mim também.

Did you know?

  • The word a used in a mim também has roots that stretch back through Latin and Ancient Greek to the Phoenician letter aleph and an Egyptian hieroglyph.
  • While eu também means 'me too' for positive statements, Portuguese speakers use eu também não to say 'me neither'.
