In a sentence

おはよう、good morning今日(きょう)today tooもいいgood天気(てんき)weatherですね

Good morning, nice weather today too

How it works

Japanese stacks this almost backwards from English: the topic 今日も(きょうも) (today too) comes first, then the description いい天気(いいてんき) (good weather), and the polite です (is) lands at the very end. The final ね (right?) turns a flat statement into a friendly “don’t you think?” — a shared observation rather than a bare fact.
