✕Common Mistakes
Bonjour, tu aussi !
“Tu” is a subject pronoun; after a greeting you need the object pronoun “toi”.
Bonjour toi aussi !
Missing the comma makes the phrase look like a single statement; the pause is important for natural rhythm.
Bonjour, vous aussi !
Correct in formal contexts, but using it with a close friend sounds overly stiff.

Cultural Tip
In France, “Bonjour” is used from morning until the early evening; after about 6 p.m. you switch to “Bonsoir”. The phrase “toi aussi” is informal—if you’re speaking to a stranger, a superior, or someone you’d address with “vous”, say “vous aussi”. Also, French speakers often add a warm smile and eye contact when exchanging greetings.
