likewise

adverb B2

Meaning

"Likewise" is used to indicate that something is similar or comparable to what has just been mentioned, often to express agreement or to add a similar point.
💡 A common mistake is to confuse "likewise" with "like," as "likewise" specifically refers to similarity in context, not just comparison.
