People connect over things they have in common. 💙 Today we learned two tiny phrases that do exactly that: ⭐ Me too! — Tôi cũng vậy! 👉 "I love pho!" → "Me too!" ⭐ Me neither. — Tôi cũng không. 👉 "I don't like rain." → "Me neither." 📌 The rule: ➕ Positive sentence → Me too! ➖ Negative (don't / not / can't) → Me neither. 🙂 Not the same? → "Oh, really? I don't!"
