も
mo · also, too; (with a negative) not … either
も means also or too. It replaces は, が and を, and with a question word and a negative it means none at all.
How to form it
| Noun + も | 私も学生です。 |
How it is used
も takes the place of は, が and を: 「私も行きます」, never 「私はも」. Other particles stay in front of it: 「東京にも行きました」.
With a question word and a negative verb it means none: 「何も食べませんでした」 (I ate nothing), 「だれもいません」 (nobody is here).
Examples
Tap a kanji for its reading.
- 私も学生です。I'm a student too.
- 弟もテニスが好きです。My younger brother likes tennis too.
- 昨日も雨でした。It rained yesterday too.
- 何も買いませんでした。I didn't buy anything.
Common mistake
- ✗ 私はも行きます。✓ 私も行きます。も replaces は rather than following it.
