This One Too 也
At the café, your friend orders another cup: 你还要一杯吗？ If you want the same thing, 也 lets you join in: 我也要一杯. 也 adds someone or something to the picture; 还 can keep an action going or add one more. The sentence tells you which meaning fits.
Examples
我也喜欢茶。
Wǒ yě xǐhuan chá.
I like tea too.
他还在学校。
Tā hái zài xuéxiào.
He is still at school.
你还要一杯吗？
Nǐ hái yào yì bēi ma?
Would you like one more cup?
Hint · 힌트
也 normally comes before the verb or adjective: 我也去. English “too” may appear at the end, but Chinese 也 does not.
