Learn English – My friend neither/Neither has the friend

neither-nor

Is the using of "neither" in this dialogue correct?

-I haven't seen the film yet.

-My friend neither.

It could be "Neither has my friend." But I want to find out if that using is also correct.

What about this one?

-Neither has my friend seen the film, nor have I.

Best Answer

"My friend neither" is awkward in American English, though not incorrect.
We sometimes say referring to ourselves, "me neither," which is accepted and not awkward.

Referring to others, it is common to use:
Neither has my friend.
My friend hasn't either.
My friend has not either.
