About this pattern
Explanation
The particle も marks addition, similar to 'also' or 'too'. It highlights that what follows applies in addition to something already mentioned, or that something is true in a broader sense. Use も after nouns, adjectives, and verbs to show inclusion or emphasis, and in combinations (XもYも) to express 'both X and Y' or 'neither X nor Y' in negative contexts. Contexts include positive additions, contrastive emphasis, or expressing inclusivity/reciprocity in lists.
