Adding Also or Too

Level 1

Find the word or phrase before بھی and use the conversation to work out what is being added.

How It Works

After someone says Ali is coming, سارا بھی آ رہی ہے adds Sara. بھی follows the added person.

If Sara is reading a magazine, سارا کتاب بھی پڑھ رہی ہے adds a book to the things she is reading.

میں آج بھی کام کرتا ہوں can mean I work today too. In a conversation comparing the past with the present, it can mean I still work. Context helps you choose the reading.

بھی does not take gender or number endings.

Examples (4)

  1. سارا بھی آ رہی ہے۔

    Sara is coming too.

    بھی adds Sara to the set of people coming.

  2. میں چائے بھی پیتی ہوں۔

    I drink tea too.

    بھی adds tea to the things the speaker drinks.

  3. وہ بھی یہاں ہے۔

    That person is here too.

    بھی adds the person; ہے refers to one person here.

  4. میں آج بھی کام کرتا ہوں۔

    I work today too.

    Today is added to other working days. The masculine speaker uses کرتا ہوں; another context can give a “still” reading.
