--explanation--

我 (wǒ) means "I", 也 (yě) means "also" or "too", and 是 (shì) means "to be". Together, they form a phrase 我也是 (wǒ yě shì) that naturally expresses similarity in conversations.

For example, if someone says 我很开心认识你 (wǒ hěn kāi xīn rèn shì nǐ) meaning "I am very happy to meet you", responding with 我也是 (wǒ yě shì) indicates that you also feel happy to meet them.
