も

も means "also". It replaces the particle は or が when what you're saying matches what was just stated: 私は学生です。妹も学生です — "I am a student. My younger sister is also a student".

Note: も fully replaces は・が rather than appearing alongside them — you don't say 私はも. With other particles like に・で, も goes after them: 東京にも行きます (I'm also going to Tokyo).

In negative sentences, も means "not … either": 私も行きません (I'm not going either).

Examples

• 私(わたし)も行(い)きます。

  I'm going too.

• 妹(いもうと)も学生(がくせい)です。

  My younger sister is also a student.

• 今日(きょう)も暑(あつ)いですね。

  It's hot again today, isn't it?
