Hi Sokchea! Yes, you can, but ONLY if it is true for you! If someone says "I like coffee," you can say "Me too!" But if they say "I lost my phone," DO NOT say "Me too!" sentiment_very_satisfied Try saying "That's terrible!" instead.
What if I don't understand what they said? Should I still say "Wow"?
Good question! No, if you don't understand, saying "Wow" might be the wrong reaction! Instead, say: "Sorry, can you repeat that?" That also shows you are listening and care about what they are saying. record_voice_over
Is it polite to just say "Oh"?
Just saying "Oh" by itself can sometimes sound like you are bored or don't care. It is better to add a little more: "Oh, really?" or "Oh, wow!" to sound friendly! sentiment_satisfied
Can I say "Me too" to show interest?
