Hi! I’m using Assimil japanese method and in the 9th lesson, they are talking about Chinese food. One person says she likes it and the other one says わたくし も . Why is there く ? Couldn’t we say わたし も ?
This word is a highly formal “I.” You might hear politicians, CEOs, or other public-relations figures use it when making official announcements. The kanji is the same as for watashi (私) (watashi is actually just a shortened form of watakushi). So you can say watashimo whitough problems.

Btw, just google: ways to say I in japanese, and you find further and good explanations.
Thank you so much, that was very helpful! It seams that Japanese has many variations between casual or formal language, just like French I guess
