Polite way to agree with a negative statement when the verb is omitted. Often used after 〜じゃないです or 〜ません.

In Japanese, the pronoun 'me' changes based on gender, formality, and context. Using the wrong pronoun can sound unnatural or rude. When in doubt, use 私 (watashi) in polite settings, or omit the pronoun entirely if it's clear from context.
In casual conversation, the pronoun is often dropped. Simply saying 「も」 (mo) after a pause can be enough, but it's very informal. Example: A: 行きたい！ B: も！ (I want to go! Me too!)
A: I don't drink alcohol. B: Me neither.
A: I think we need more practice. B: I think so too.
