So what’s where correct? And what else to consider at your (English speaking) place?
Consider:
- I want that.
- I want this, too.
- I want the same.
I’m asking this (and that) since I participated a discussion with only native speakers and it crushed me. Apparently I am the worst English speaker anywhere.
Teach me things, Lemmy. Pleeaase!
Post scriptum: You may prepend your comment with a common, international country code to don’t fuck with me too hard.
Can you give some more context for your question? It sounds like you might be replying to someone who just expressed a desire for something that you also want, but the specifics of the situation might make one reply feel more natural than another.
But based on nothing else, I’d say “I want that.” Or “I want that, too.” sounds natural to me, an East Coast American in the NYC area.
Also, looking at your posts, your English seems pretty natural, I wouldn’t guess you’re a non-native speaker reading what you write online. I can see some over-formality that I know to look for something deviant, but it’s not immediately apparent.
