Definition & meaning
The German adverb ebenfalls is used to express that something is true for another person or object in addition to what has already been mentioned. It translates to "also," "as well," "too," or "likewise" in English.
It is commonly used as a polite response to greetings or well-wishes (e.g., "Schönes Wochenende!" – "Ebenfalls!").
Grammar & Word origin
Grammar: It is an adverb that does not change its form. It is frequently used at the beginning of a sentence or as a single-word response.
Word origin: The word is a compound of the German words eben (meaning "even," "level," or "exactly") and Fall (meaning "case"). Literally, it translates to "in the same case," which evolved into the current meaning of "likewise" or "in the same manner."
