Japanese Language
「Sentence Structure」

「8」

Mr. Ogawa and Mr. Maki are both my friends.
小川さんも牧さんも私の友達だ/です。
Ogawa-san mo Maki-san mo watashi no tomodachi da/desu.

In Japanese, the particle mo can follow two different nouns in a sentence which indicates that the two nouns fall in similar categories. The phrase which forms the phrase with use of mo is the subject of an affirmative sentence, which means "both...and," or as the subject or of a negative sentence, which means "neither...nor."

Examples:
(1) This room and that room are both conference rooms.
この部屋もその部屋も会議室です。
Kono heya mo sono heya mo kaigishitsu desu.

(2) Both he and she are graduates of Harvard.
彼も彼女もハーバードの卒業生です。
Kare mo kanojo mo hābādo no sotsugyōsei desu.

(3) Neither Jim nor Sam is a football player.
ジムもサムもフットボールの選手じゃない。
Jimu mo Samu mo futtobōru no senshu ja nai.

(4) My younger sister is neither a pianist nor a singer.
妹はピアニストでも歌手でもありません。
Imōto wa pianisuto demo kashu demo arimasen.

Hope this was helpful, and see you next time!
