— Grandma, I love you.
— _____.
A. Me too B. I agree C. Exactly D. I love you ,too.
which choice is right,why? thanks in advance.
Both A and D are common.
thank you.
but doesn’t “me too” here means “I love me ,too”? because:
for example’
— I love music
----Me too. (===I love music, too)
Nope, it means “I love you too”, above.
i saw from somewhere saying that in this kind of situation “me too” is funny. because : ---- " i love you, Tom" (you=Tom)
----Me too. (it shoud refer to the “you” above, just like the other example “music” is the key word. so “Me too” here means :I love myself—that’s funny)
I’m confused. Are you sure"Me too" here is right?
Yeah, me too is kind of out of place, I reckon.
I think we use me too like this
I like apples
Me too
so there are different ideas, who can tell me the final right choice? Are you native speakers?
Which choice would you like to hear? Do you want what is prescriptively correct, or would you like to know how the expression “me too” is used?
I just want to know if A is a proper choice. I know D is right. thank you.
Moderators, please help me!
Hi Vaok
Will the opinion of an Ex-moderator do? :lol:
If that sentence is from a test, the author probably wants you to choose option D. That is not only a correct response, but also a perfectly normal response for a grandma to make.
Option A also might possibly be used by Grandma. However, option A might be even more likely in a scenario such as this:
Grandchild A: Grandma, I love you.
Grandchild B: Me, too.
Grandchild C: Me, three!!!
Grandma: (affectionately laughing) And I love all three of you.
Who knows – Granny might even say “Me four”. :lol:
[color=white].
Grandchild B’s “Me, too” would mean “I love you too, Grandma”. In other words, Grandchild B wants to tell Grandma the same thing that Grandchild A just did.

good imagination! it’s quite reasonable .Thank you!
But if the conversation is between two lovers, can "Me too " still be proper?
man: I love you!
woman: Me too!(proper?)
Hi Vaok
People do use it that way. However, people also know that saying “Me, too” in that context technically means “Yeah, I love me too”.
In addition, I’d say you’ve got the conversation above backwards. Generally speaking, I think women are more likely to say “I love you”, and men would be more likely to use “Me, too.” – a fact that tends to drive us women nuts. :lol:
Have you ever seen the movie “Ghost”?
Demi Moore: I love you.
Patrick Swayze: Ditto.
:lol:
.
I see. you mean “Me too” is used in the situation to mean “I love you ,too” though technically meaning " I love me too"’ right?
an idea just struck me:
woman A: I love my husband
woamn B: Me too.
Is “Me too” here proper or funny?
Hi Vaok
Yes, it is used that way. But this use of “Me, too” may not always be happily accepted – particularly after a sentence such as “I love you”.
.
Hehe. That’s ambiguous, too. In theory that “Me, too” could be understood to mean “I love my husband too” or “I love your husband too”. :lol:
.
thanks a lot!
Ahh, well, I think it’s really funny, but I imagine Woman A wouldn’t find it so, unless she knew that Woman B was a good friend, and just joking.
However, I suppose, if the two women happened to be married to the same man, (as some cultures or religions allow), then it would be perfectly okay for Woman B to say that.
Otherwise, Woman B is declaring that she loves Woman A’s husband, and unless they agree to share…then nothing good will come of that comment!!
Still, it’d probably be funny to watch, but that’s just me…
.
I agree with you, Skrej, that the meaning is “I love him (i.e. your husband) too”.
Let’s hope if it were simply a case of a grammatical “oops”, that it wouldn’t result in a catfight. :lol:
