Moi aussi vs. moi non plus (Me too vs. me neither)

Moi aussi, moi non plus — Meaning and Pronunciation

Moi aussi (literally me also) means “me too,” “so am I,” or “so do I” in response to affirmative statements. For example: “Je parle français. — Moi aussi.” (I speak French. — So do I.) However, when responding to a negative statement, you must use moi non plus to mean “me neither” or “neither do I.” For example: “Je n’aime pas cette chanson. — Moi non plus.” (I don’t like this song. — Neither do I.)

➞ IPA pronunciation of moi aussi is /mwa o.si/ which sounds like “mwah oh-see”.
➞ IPA pronunciation of moi non plus is /mwa nɔ̃ ply/ which sounds like “mwah non ploo”.

Moi aussi vs. moi non plus — Me too, me neither — French Word of the Day

Example sentences

Moi aussi

These first two sentences are in the affirmative. Hence, moi aussi is used for me too and “so do I”.

J’aime cette chanson. — Moi aussi.
I like this song. Me too / So do I.

J’aime manger la glace. — Moi aussi.
I like eating the ice cream. Me too / So do I.

Moi non plus

These next two sentences are in the negation. Hence, you must use moi non plus to express “neither do I” or “me neither”. While “me too” might work in English, you cannot reply moi aussi to these sentences in French.

Je n’aime pas cette chanson. — Moi non plus.
I don’t like this song. – Neither do I / Me neither.

Je n’aime pas ce plat. — Moi non plus.
I don’t like this dish. – Neither do I / Me neither.

👉 Je t’aime… moi non plus — Listen to how moi non plus is used in real French in the classic 1969 song.
