  • it has strong connections with the word “以外” (“igai”),

USAGE:

Person A: Ryokou shitai tokoro wa arimasu ka? - Do you have any places you'd like to travel to?

Person B: Nihon ni ikitai desu. - I want to go to Japan.

Person A: Hoka ni ikitai tokoro wa? - Any other places you want to go?

Person B: Chūgoku ni mo ikitai desu. - I also want to go to China.
