0 Hi MyShirley,02br 02br 00I don't think 'also' is needed in this sentence. 01i 00Besides02i 00 and 01i 00also02i 00 are very similar, if not same, in meaning. It wouldn't be necessary to use both in the same sentence.

00Do you feel that your expression 'if not same' can be 'if not the same'? I have difficulty seeing the difference in usage for the words 'same' or 'the same'.02br

00If someone says this:02br

00I don't like you. Or 'You are a fool.'02br

00To be honest with you, I am not quite sure whether I should use 'if not the same' or 'if not same' in that context. I believe someone might know the answer to this. 05102br

00'Same to you' is the correct response out of the two. 02br
