도 means "also," "too," or "even." It adds something to what was mentioned or emphasizes inclusion.
Also/too — Adding to previous information
Even — Emphasizing something unexpected
Both...and — With repetition (A도 B도)
도 replaces 은/는, 이/가, and 을/를 — don't stack them.
See examples below for varied real-world usage.
Replaces other particles — Don't combine with case markers
- ✅ 나**도** 좋아해요
- ❌ 나**도를** 좋아해요
Adds to 에, 에서, etc. — Can combine with location particles
- ✅ 학교**에도** 가요 (I also go to school)
- ✅ 집**에서도** 일해요 (I also work at home)
A도 B도 = both A and B (often with negative = neither)
- 시간**도** 없고 돈**도** 없어요 (I have neither time nor money)
