Also
The easiest way to express "also" and "too" in Chinese is with the adverb 也. This character is inserted after the subject, before the verb:
Subject + 也 + Verb + Object
Some examples:
- 我 也 喜欢 吃 水饺。I also like to eat boiled dumplings.
- 你 也 喜欢 喝 啤酒 吗？Do you like to drink beer, too?
- 他们 也 是 法国人。They are also French.
也 can also be used with adjectives, in the same structure:
Subject + 也 + 很 + Adjective
Some examples:
- 你 也 很 高。You are also tall.
- 他 也 很 胖。He is also fat.
- 这 个 也 很 麻烦。This is also troublesome.
"Me too"
It can be tricky to know how to say "me too" when you first study 也, as you can't say "我也" - this is not a complete sentence. The correct way is:
- 我 也 是。
