me nso
me nso is the Twi way to say 'me too'.
Use me nso 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 pronoun me (me) and the particle nso (also/too).
Did you know?
- Twi is a tonal language, meaning the pitch used to say me or nso can change the meaning of the word entirely if not pronounced correctly.
- The pronoun me is used for both the subject and the object of a sentence, meaning it functions as both 'I' and 'me'.
- In Twi, the placement of nso is very flexible. Unlike English, where 'too' almost always goes at the end of a sentence, you can sometimes move nso to different positions for emphasis.
Examples in context
- Me nso rekɔ.I am going too.
- Me nso rekɔ fie.I am going home too.
- Me nso rekɔsom.I am hungry too.
