Mi Papá tampoco habló.

Question

This is a line from a Spanish Short Story. I cannot decifer it, I need some help with tampoco please.

Answer 1

Hi!

it means "my dad didn't speak either".

Tampoco is like either or neither in english

It is usually referring to the previous sentence like...

Mary didn't say a word, my dad didn't speak either.

If you say in Spanish "yo tampoco"

it means "me neither"

or

a mí tampoco can also mean me neither

You can use it with "no" too.

example..

Mi papá no habló tampoco

or you can leave no out, like in your example.

hope this helps

When I was beginning I often mistook this "tampoco" word with tan poco... they sound similar.

watch out for it.
