Frequently Asked Questions

Can I say 'yo también' to mean 'me too'?

Yes, absolutely! 'Yo también' is a perfect and very common way to say 'me too.' You can also say 'A mí también' if you're responding to a sentence that used 'me' (like 'Me gusta...').

What's the difference between 'también' and 'además'?

'También' means 'also' or 'too' and is used for simple agreement or addition. 'Además' is more like 'in addition' or 'besides,' and it's often used to add a new, stronger point to an argument. 'También' is much more common in everyday conversation.
