Vocabulary
It's the same here, It's the same over here, Same here
Hello,
If something is done in a similar/the same way in two or more countries, cities, areas, etc, which one would fit the context best?
Would all of them work in: During the Easter holidays, we always dye our eggs on Thursday and Saturday. We never dye them on Friday."
- Yes, it's the same over here/Yes, it's the same here/Same here
They all sound okay to me, but the version with over sounds best in my opinion. Are they all acceptable.
I apologize for using the sentence above. I realize that most civilized people don't dye eggs, because that's disgusting and barbaric, but we do.

Thank you, Clive. Does "it's the same over here" sound unnatural to you in general or just in this context? In October, a lady from the UK told me that "It's the same here" would sound in her variety of English.
As for "Same here", yes, I agree. That's what it means to me as well. I think we can also say "Yeah, same" and the meaning will not change. Do you use it that way in Canada?

"it's the same over here" sound unnatural to you in general or just in this context? If you are talking about two different countries, it sounds like they are on different sides of an ocean..

Yes, that's what over suggests to me too. Speaker A was from Manchester and speaker B was from Newcastle and "over" was still used in the sentence.
Can we leave "over" out if speaker A lives in South America and speaker B lives somewhere in Asia? I wouldn't leave it out, but I just want to know if the other version sounds okay as well.
Thank you, Clive.
