注意!me too 英語

me too という表現は、とても子どもっぽい表現で、ビジネスに使うには適さないということを聞いたことがあります。本当でしょうか。

Morgan says, I’m gonna really miss her.
Robert answers, Me, too. Sweetheart. Me too.
Q: So I’ve heard that to say “me too” sounds very childish or too casual. Is that true?
Yeah, actually it’s true. And like we just discussed, if you… you have to know the first, the formal way of saying something. And the grammatically formal way of saying this is “so am I”. You have to agree. This is agreeing to the sentence before. Morgan, the daughter says. “ I’m really gonna miss her”. The father says, “I will miss her too”. So in the short form when you agree to a sentence, then you say “so am I”. Depending on the verb, we say, “ so do I”, “so can I”. That’s the more formal way or you say the full sentence. “I’m going to miss her too”. We put “too” at the end. So the short form is “me too”.
