TKD p. 54:
The noun conjunction je has an additional function: when it follows a verb,
it means also, too.
qaleghpu' je I also saw you, I saw you too
As in English, the meaning of such sentences is ambiguous: I and others saw
you or I saw you and others. The exact meaning is determined by context
This use of /je/ meets the "me too" usage that everybody's thinking of
(though it's not identical to it). (There's nothing in TKD to suggest that
/jIH je/ is a legal construction.)
