Jo

The little word " jo " can be used in different ways, and it can sometimes be difficult to understand what it means.

👉 " Jo " means "yes" if there is a refusal in the question:
Have n't you read "Hunger"? Yes , I have. (= I have read "Hunger".)
Have you never been to Barcelona? Yes , I was there last year.

👉 We also use " jo " when we want to express that the person we are talking to actually knows the answer to the question, or that it is obvious:
Do you often go on trips?
Yes of course. I have three dogs. (You know I have three dogs, so obviously I go for walks often.)
Shall we go out tonight?
Yes, we are going out soon. I told you that. (You know I said we were going out.)

👉 We use " jo " when we compare:
The more, the better.
The more she practiced , the better she became .
🆘 Notice that the first sentence is a clause ( subjunction - subject - verb ), while the second sentence is a complete sentence ( adverb - verb - subject ).
We can also use " jo - desto "
The more she practiced , the better she became .
