Whenever you need to list nouns, whether two of them or more, 和 (hé) is there to help you out!

Structure

The most common way to express "and" in Chinese is with 和 (hé). It's important to note that 和 (hé) can only be used to link nouns. Verbs (or whole sentences) should not be linked with 和 (hé).

Noun 1 + 和 + Noun 2

Examples

  • 你 和 我。Nǐ hé wǒ.You and I.
  • 他 和 我 都 不 喝 红酒。Tā hé wǒ dōu bù hē hóngjiǔ.None of us (both he and I don't) drink red wine.
  • 我 喜欢 可乐 和 茶。Wǒ xǐhuān kělè hé chá.I like cola and tea.
  • 我 和 他 一起 工作。Wǒ hé tā yīqǐ gōngzuò.He and I work together.
  • 我 的 爸爸 和 妈妈 都 是 70 岁。Wǒ de bàba hé māmā dōu shì qīshí suì.My dad and mom are both 70 years old.
  • 我 的 朋友 和 我 都 喜欢 中国 菜。Wǒ de péngyǒu hé wǒ dōu xǐhuān Zhōngguó cài.My friend and I both like Chinese food.
  • 他 和 她 都 是 美国 人。Tā hé tā dōu shì Měiguó rén.He and she (they) are both Americans.
  • 去年 和 今年 我 都 在 纽约。Qùnián hé jīnnián wǒ dōu zài Niǔyuē.I was in New York both last year and this year .
