Some issues when I translate also with “也“
How to translate this?

A: Do you like tea?
B: Yes, and you?
A: I like tea as well, but I also like coffee.

A: 你喜欢茶吗？
B: 我喜欢。你呢？
A: 我也喜欢，但是我也喜欢咖啡。

Is that correct? Should A use 也 both to express that he also likes tea (like his friend), and to express that he also likes coffee (besides tea)?

Thanks

Answer

there are 2 也 in this sentence：“我也喜欢，但是我也喜欢咖啡。”

the first 也 means：i love tea （just like you）
the 2ed 也 means：i love coffee （just like i love tea）

:D

Answer

Both ok. The first "也" means as the same with, and second one prefers the meaning of besides.
However, it is much more proper to use "还" instead of the second "也".

Answer

Correct.也has a lot of meanings. (I like tea as well, but I also like coffee.)In this sentence 也 means the same stituation.The first 也 means like tea is same.The second means like is same.

Answer

You can uses "也"to express B also like coffee,but I think here to use"同样"is better! which has the same meaning with"也"

Answer

Your translation is correct.
