quoque / etiam (Also, Even)

Also and Even

Level 2

Two ways to say also, and one of them also means even.

How It Works

Word	Where it goes	Example
quoque	after the word	Marcus quoque, Marcus too
etiam	before the word	etiam Iulia, even Iulia

Both words point at one part of the sentence. Quoque looks back at the word before it. Etiam looks ahead at the word after it.

Etiam nunc means even now or still: Etiam nunc cantat means he is still singing.

Quoque never starts a sentence. It always follows the word it points to.

Quoque sounds like KWO-kweh in both journeys. Etiam sounds like EH-tee-ahm in classical Latin and EH-tsee-ahm in Church Latin, because ti before a vowel sounds like tsee there.

Examples (5)

Marcus comes too.
Quoque follows Marcus, the person who is added.
Etiam Iulia venit.
Even Iulia comes.
Etiam comes before Iulia and adds her.
Lupus aquam bibit. Agnus quoque aquam bibit.
The wolf drinks water. The lamb drinks water too.
Quoque follows agnus, the second animal.
Maria quoque Dominum laudat.
Mary praises the Lord too.
Quoque follows Maria.
Etiam nunc cantat.

Etiam nunc means even now or still.

Common Mistakes

Putting quoque at the front of the sentence.
Quoque Marcus venit.
Marcus quoque venit.
Quoque follows the word it adds. At the front it has nothing to point back to.
