Grammar
How to express “Me too” in Chinese
We know that in English, we can simply use “Me too” rather than repeat the whole sentence. And in Chinese we have the same usage, which is to use “wǒ +yě+ shì “(literally I am also). 是 (Shì ) means “to be” in Chinese (such as am, is, are) which will be taught in Lesson 6, and “wǒ +yě+ shì “can refer to whatever the speaker said before as long as you agree with him or her.
For example:
很 高兴 认识 你 。
hěn gāo xìng rèn shi nǐ .
I am so happy to know you.
我 也 是。
wǒ yě shì. (“shì” here refers to “very happy to know you”)
I’m also. (Me too)
