myös

Myös is a Finnish adverb meaning "also" or "as well." It marks addition to what has already been stated, allowing the speaker to include another element in the same context. It can modify a noun phrase, a verb, or an entire clause, and it is common in both spoken and written Finnish.

Placement and usage: myös usually appears immediately before the element it emphasizes. Examples: Hän on myös opettaja (He is also a teacher). Minä menen, ja hän tulee myös (I’m coming, and he is coming as well). Me ostimme kirjan ja myös vihkon (We bought a book and also a notebook). In general, myös adds information that complements what has been said, without requiring a change of subject.

Relation to other forms: mÿös is often contrasted with the -kin form, which emphasizes agreement or inclusion from the speaker’s perspective. For example, Minä tulen, hän tulee also vs. Minä tulen, minäkin tulen (I will come, and he will come / I will come as well). A related form, myöskään, is used with negation to mean "neither" or "nor." Example: En pidä tästä, en myöskään hänen mielestään.
