Hi
I �ve got a question
Is it correct to say me neither, instead of neither am I, neither do I.........
and how do you make the superlative form of I �ve got more money than... Can you say I �ve got the most money of we all, it sound funny for me.
THANKS |

I have never heard "me neither" and in fact it sounds really bad !
So "neither am I" and "never do I" and other formulas with this order of words are correct.
And
"I �ve got the most money of US all" sounds really better. US is not subject and suits correctly here.
Have a good day. |

Yes, you can say "me neither".
For example:
Mary: I haven �t got any money.
Joe: Me neither. I �m broke.
It is colloquial obviously, but it is said, and probably used more frequently than "neither do I".
And I agree with Maryse on the superlative form.

I agree with Zora, even if "me neither" sounds a bit colloquial. To me, it sounds more natural than "neither am I" or whatever. I �d rather use "neither do I" when writing something. Otherwise, I picture an old English lady (no offence!!!) drinking tea and having a nice chat with one of her neighbour!

In the US, at least, "neither do/am I" sounds about as natural as "me, neither". We use both forms very commonly.
