The difference between “me too” and “me neither”

  • "Me too" is used when someone is agreeing with a positive statement and occasionally a negative statement, while "me neither" is only used to agree with a negative statement.
  • While "me too" expresses agreement to positive statements like "I like fruit," "me neither" shows agreement to a negative statement such as "I don't like vegetables."
  • "Me too" can also be written as "me, too" (with a comma), but the same does not apply to "me neither," which is always written without a comma.
