Did you know?
- While jag med and jag också mean 'me too' in positive sentences, Swedish uses a different word for 'me neither', namely jag inte heller.
- The word också is a combination of two smaller words, och meaning 'and' and så meaning 'so', which literally builds the meaning of 'also' through a process of addition.
- In very casual spoken Swedish, the 'g' in jag is often dropped entirely, so jag med sounds like ja med.
