I don't know either.

Neither do I.

(Someone asked my friend if/whether he knew where Nathan Road is, and my friend replied, "Sorry, I don't know." My friend then asked me.)

How to pronouce Either when I say "I don't know either".  Pronouce as "ai" or "i:"

Main Entry: 1ei·ther Pronunciation:

\ˈē-thər also ˈī-\

 

The word can be pronounced either way, as shown above. Most Americans, I believe, pronounce the "i" way, while the British prefer the "ai" version.
