What’s your favourite German word that has no English equivalent? Mine is ‘doch’.

"Too" is not one, I would argue! It's more "auch" (also in this sentence).

When said with the right intonation and emphasis, "too" in that example does do the same thing as "doch" in the German equivalent of the sentence.
