I am a little confused by a section of lesson 4.4 - At the restaurant.
Why are there two 'nous' in this sentence?:
"Certainement, nous aussi nous avons des plats végétariens"
In the rocket review audio it sounds like it's pronounced differently to the version on the practice page - it seems to say ".. nous avons aussi.." which to me (at my current level of french!) sounds more correct.
Are both versions acceptable, and if so, why the extra 'nous' in the first sentence?!
Any help appreciated!
Use of 'nous'

Hi, the sentence is correct as-is, but the gist of it is more like "Certainly, we ourselves have vegetarian dishes" where the added "nous" is used more as an emphasis (with the certainement).
"Nous avons aussi des plats végétariens" also works, but that would be used more with "Oui" (affirmative vs. emphatic).

Thanks Toru, thats really helpful.
When you translate it as "we ourselves" it starts making a lot more sense.
Thanks again!
