Hello,

Can you please help me with も again? In the next sentences, is も the same as the one in "ふうか：だからね？あれは用もないのに押しちゃだめなのよ？" (from here. question #2) ?

a)（破廉恥：) 恥を恥とも思わず平気でいること。また、そのさま。恥知らず。(破廉恥の英語・英訳 - goo辞書 英和和英)
b) （なにも：）（打ち消しを伴って）特に取り立ててそうする必要もないという気持ちを表す。わざわざ。 (何も(ナニモ)とは - コトバンク)

They're all emphatic, if that's what you're asking.

Yes, thank you! Calling this "emphatic" helps a lot. When I asked that time, I didn't understand it very well. I thought も had some new meaning that I have never seen before. But now, seeing these other examples, it makes sense.
