I'm just trying to figure out if "neither I" is grammatically correct as a standalone statment (in spoken English).


Solution 1:

No, it is grammatically unacceptable.

Correct constructions using neither include:

  • Neither a nor b: This is the most common usage.

    Neither Alaska nor Florida charges state income tax.

  • Neither noun: You can use this variant when it's clear what you are referring to.

    I moved from Alaska to Florida this year. Fortunately, neither state charges income tax.

  • Me neither: This may be close to what you had in mind.

    "I don't like Brussels sprouts."

    "Me neither."

  • Neither: This could be a one-word sentence.

    "Do you prefer carrots or broccoli?"

    "Neither."
