N+도 (also/too)
(additive particle)
The additive particle, 도, is similar to subject particles 는/은 and 가/이 in that it is used for a subject (or topic). However, 도 implies the meaning of 'too' or 'also' to a subject
This is a particle you add at the end of the noun that implies the meaning of too / also.
The rule is simple, you just add it at the end of a noun without space
example :
나도 학생이다 = I am a student, too
그도 친절하다 = He is kind, too
이것도 연필이다 = This is a pencil, too
하늘도 높다 = The sky is high, too
그녀도 공부한다 = She studies, too
As a further explanation, please have a look at the following example:
다윗은 왕이었다 = David was a king
솔로몬도 왕이었다 = Solomon was a king, too
도 always refers to the subject. For example, 솔로몬도 왕이었다 describes Solomon in terms of the fact that he was a king, too. Not only was David a king but Solomon was also a king.
다윗 = David
왕 = a king
솔로몬 = Solomon
Here is another example,
제니는 나갔어 = Jenny went outside
유리도 나갔어 = Yuri went outside, too
As you can see, 도 is used when one wants talk about the same quality or description about a different subject.
There are times that this 도 particle is used in conjunction with other particles
