In English, you would say "I love you", and the other person would reply
"I love you, too", although grammatically you are effectively saying
"And I love you". That was the particular sense of "too" that I was
trying to refer to. In TKD 5.3, using{je} [how come thats not {je'}?]
is applied to a situation of Me saying "I see trI'qal", and you saying
"I see trI'qal too/also". Or am I missing something.
