Also, too, as well; in a negative sentence, 'either'. Unlike English 'too', it cannot go at the end: it always stands after the subject and before the verb or adjective. 他也是老师 'he is a teacher too', 我也不去 'I am not going either'. Together with 都 the order is 也都.
Phó từ nghĩa là “cũng”. Giống “cũng” trong tiếng Việt, 也 luôn đứng sau chủ ngữ và trước động từ hoặc tính từ, không bao giờ đứng cuối câu: 他也是老师 (anh ấy cũng là giáo viên), 我也不去 (tôi cũng không đi). Khi đi cùng 都 thì thứ tự là 也都 (cũng đều).
