Meaning

✕Common Mistakes
Tu também!
‘Tu’ is regional; most Brazilian learners should stick with ‘Você’ unless they know the listener prefers ‘tu’.
Você também?
A question mark changes the meaning to ‘You too?’ which sounds uncertain; the phrase is meant as a confident affirmation.
Você também..
Use a single exclamation point or none; double periods are not standard punctuation in Portuguese.

O mesmo para você!
The same to you!
Da mesma forma!
In the same way!
Cultural Tip
In Brazil, ‘você’ is the default way to address someone, even strangers, so ‘Você também!’ feels natural and polite. In Portugal, people may prefer ‘Tu também!’ if they’re on a first‑name basis. The exclamation mark adds warmth; without it the phrase can sound a bit more formal or neutral.
