How to Say ‘I also just arrived.’ in Simplified Chinese

我也刚到。

wǒ yě gāng dào

[waw yeh gahng daow]

💬 Usage Tip: [刚] goes before the verb phrase, so [刚到] is "just arrived," not the other way around. [也] comes before that too: [我也刚到] = "I also just arrived."

🇨🇳 In China: This is a very common polite reply if someone apologizes for being late. It often softens the situation, even if you actually arrived earlier.
