What does “me too” mean?

“Me too” means “I feel the same” or “the same for me.” You say it when someone says a feeling, opinion, wish, or experience, and it is true for you too.

When people say it

  • To show the same feeling or liking: A: “I love noodles.” B: “Me too.”
  • To answer a wish or warm feeling: A: “I want to see you again.” B: “Me too.”
  • To say the same thing happens to you: A: “I make silly mistakes before coffee.” B: “Me too.”
  • At the end of a question, it can mean “also” about you: “Do you like me too?”

Tone: Very common and natural in casual everyday English; neutral and friendly. By itself, “Me too.” is short, so the tone depends on your voice and context.

Careful: Do not use it for every “too.” In “You know me too well,” “too” means “excessively,” not “also.” Also, after a negative sentence, many people do say “Me too” in speech, but “Me neither” or “Neither do I” is the safer choice for learners.
