și eu
/ʃi jew/word by word
The English phrase "me too" is translated into Romanian as și eu.
Use și eu to express that a statement or feeling applies to you as well.
Meaning: that applies to me as well (phrase)
What does it mean word for word?
The phrase is composed of the conjunction și (and/also) and the pronoun eu (I).
Which one should you use?
While și eu is used to agree with positive statements, you should use nici eu when responding to a negative statement (for example, if someone says "I don't like it", you would respond with "Me neither" using nici eu).
How does it change in a sentence?
You can adapt this structure to change who you are referring to. To say "you too" in response to someone, you change the pronoun to și tu. To say "he too" or "she too", replace eu with el (he) or ea (she).
What mistakes should you avoid?
Do not use și eu to respond to a negative statement. Use nici eu instead.
Did you know?
- The word și in și eu is not actually derived from the Latin word for 'and' (et), but instead comes from sīc, meaning 'thus' or 'in this way'.
- In Romanian, the pronoun eu is one of the most stable words in the language, having remained virtually unchanged from its Classical Latin root egō̆ for over two thousand years.
- To add extra emotional weight or intensity to your agreement, you can say și eu așa, which literally means 'me also so' to indicate you feel exactly the same way.
