Meaning
Express agreement or similarity with someone.
Cultural Background
Agreement is a key social lubricant. Using '我也是' shows you are listening and value the other person's input. Similar usage, but often spoken with a softer tone. In Cantonese, the equivalent is '我都係' (ngo5 dou1 hai6), which maps perfectly to the Mandarin. Often used in a mix of English and Mandarin, but the core '我也是' remains standard.
