How to Say “Me Too” in Korean

나도
na-do
The phrase 'me too' in Korean is 나도 (na-do).
The phrase is used to express that something applies to you as well.
Meaning: that applies to me as well (phrase)

What does it mean word for word?

The phrase 나도 consists of the pronoun 나 (I/me) and the particle 도 (also/too).

Which one should you use?

While 나도 is a simple way to say 'me too', the version 나도 그래 is more emphatic, conveying the meaning 'I am also like that'.

Is there a formal and an informal way to say it?

For formal settings, or when speaking to someone older or in a higher social position, use 저도요 or 저도 to be polite.

How does it change in a sentence?

Adding 그래 (is so/is like that) to 나도 creates the complete thought 나도 그래, which means 'I am also like that'.

How do you pronounce it?

na-do

Did you know?

  • While 나도 is a direct translation of 'me too', Koreans often avoid using it to agree with a negative statement. Instead, they use different phrasing to avoid ambiguity.
  • In very casual settings, Koreans may drop the 나 entirely and just say 도 when the context is clear, though this is highly colloquial.
  • The distinction between 나 (casual) and 저 (polite) is a fundamental part of the Korean language's honorific system. This reflects a cultural emphasis on social harmony and respect for hierarchy in every interaction.
