How to Say ‘Me Neither’ and ‘Me Too’ in Portuguese: Também or Nem — Practice

Use eu também after a positive statement

Também means ‘also’ or ‘too.’ To say that you share a positive experience or preference, respond with eu também or eu também gosto (I like it too).

Use eu também não after a negative statement

When agreeing with a negative statement, say eu também não (I don’t either). Keep the negative não in your reply.

Use nem eu for a short ‘me neither’

Nem eu is a concise, casual way to agree with a negative statement. Use it when the missing verb is obvious from the previous sentence.

Remember: Use eu também with an affirmative idea and eu também não or nem eu to agree with a negative one.

Check your understanding

Choose the English meaning of each Portuguese example. Answer before looking back at the tables. These questions check the written examples in this guide; they are not a listening or proficiency test.

Recall the Portuguese, then say it

Read the English prompt and say a Portuguese version before opening the answer. The answer shows the example from the lesson; other natural translations may also work. Compare the meaning and the situation rather than counting a different word as automatically wrong.

Make the phrase useful to you

Choose one example you could actually use. Say it once from memory, then change one detail that fits your life, such as the person, place, time, or object. Check whether your change also needs a different verb form, article, or adjective ending. If it does, compare it with the pattern in the explanation.

Use eu também with an affirmative idea and eu também não or nem eu to agree with a negative one.

Return to two prompts tomorrow without opening the answers first. If a phrase still feels difficult, shorten it to a useful chunk and build the complete sentence again.
