Morphology

me + neither

The meaning 'I also do not' is directly derivable from 'me' (referring to the speaker) combined with 'neither' (indicating negation/exclusion), so a B1 learner who knows both words can infer it functions as agreement with a negative statement. The pattern corresponds to common cross-linguistic response forms (e.g., Spanish 'yo tampoco', French 'moi non plus'), making the construction predictable and transparent.

Etymology

Me neither comes from a simple reply where a person points to themselves (me) and adds neither to mean 'not either'. So when you say me neither, you are agreeing with someone's negative statement and saying 'I don't either'.
