If you are trying to call attention to similarities between multiple things, you will want to use 也 (yě) first followed by 都 (dōu) to express that these multiple things have something in common.
Contents
Positive Form
Structure
When using 也 (yě) and 都 (dōu) in the same sentence, remember to put 也 (yě) first:
Subj. + 也都 + Predicate
The predicate part of the pattern can be a verb or an adjective.
Examples
- 我 很 好 ，我 的 家人 也 都 很 好 。I'm good. So is everyone in my family.
- 大人 很 喜欢 这个 餐厅 ，孩子 们 也 都 很 喜欢 。Adults all like this restaurant, and the children all like it too.
- 我 老板 是 美国 人 ，很 多 客户 也 都 是 美国 人 。My boss is American. Lots of our clients are also Americans.
- 他 很 高 ，他 的 两 个 弟弟 也 都 比较 高 。He's tall. His two younger brothers are also pretty tall.
- 老板 加班 ，你们 也 都 要 加班 吗 ？The boss will be working late. Will you all need to work late too?
Negative Form
Structure
If you're using 不 (bù) or 没 (méi) with 也都 (yě dōu) in the same sentence, remember to put 不 (bù) or 没(méi) after 也都 (yě dōu):
Subj. + 也都 + 不 / 没 + Predicate
Examples
- 我们 也 都 没 吃饭 ，一起 去 吧 。We all haven't eaten either. Let's go together.
- 这些 不 贵 ，那些 也 都 不 贵 。These are not expensive. Those aren't expensive, either.
- 我 不 喜欢 蝙蝠侠 ，我 的 朋友 也 都 不 喜欢 他 。I don't like Batman. My friends don't like him, either.
- 你 觉得 你 不 容易 ？我们 也 都 不 容易 。You're saying it isn't easy for you? It isn't easy for us, either.
- 我 没 去 过 美国 ，我 的 家人 也 都 没 去 过 。I've never been to the USA. My family has never been there, either.
