Hey,
A while ago I learned the difference between too and either.

P1: I like this song.
P2: I like it too.

P1: I don't like this song.
P2: I don't like it either.


What about this?:
P1: I don't like this song.
P1: Don't you like it too?

Should I use either for the last sentence?

Cheers!

This sounds more natural to me:

I like this song. Don't you like it, too? :tick:

NOT A TEACHER.

"Don't you like it too" doesn't sound right to me.

"Do you not like it either" would be correct, but it doesn't sound great, either.

I think most people would say something like, "How about you" or "Do you like it."

I agree with Jasmin, and would add her second comment (which I have underlined) to, "Don't you like it, either", too.
