How do we say “too, also and as well” in Japanese?
Particle も (mo)
When you want to say that something is the same.
A particle も (mo) is used in Japanese.
You need toadd も (mo) to the noun to which the nuance of the same is applied.
For example,
A :
わたしは２０歳です。
Watashi wa hatachi desu.
I’m 20 years old.
B :
わたしも２０歳です。
Watashi mo hatachi desu.
I’m also 20 years old.
Short pattern
Just like in English where we can say shortly
me too
you too
you can also say in Japanese like
わたしもです。
watashi mo desu.
Me too.
あなたもです。
anata mo desu.
You too.
*NOTE : Be careful with the use of あなた. It sounds rude in some cases (*How to address someone by name)
And although in English we say “So is he (her, Mike).” instead of “Him (her, Mike) too”, we can use the same pattern Noun + も (mo) like
彼もです。
kare mo desu.
So is he.
彼女もです。
kanojo mo desu.
So is her.
マイクさんもです。
Maiku san mo desu.
So is Mike.
*NOTE : This rule also applies to “So does he (she, Mike)”.
