If you want to express that you are doing something together with someone else, 一起 (yīqǐ) is your word!

Note: The pinyin for 一起 is written "yīqǐ" but pronounced "yìqǐ" due to a tone change rule.

Structure

一起 (yīqǐ) is the easiest way to express an action being done together with other people.

Subj. + 一起 + Verb + Obj.

The subject must be plural - a plural noun or two or more nouns linked with a conjunction. You can't do things together on your own, after all.

Examples

  • 我们 一起 吃 晚饭 吧。Wǒmen yīqǐ chī wǎnfàn ba.Let's eat dinner together.

  • 下 个 月 我 和 妈妈 一起 去 旅行。Xià gè yuè wǒ hé māma yīqǐ qù lǚxíng.Next month I'll go on a trip together with mom.

  • 结婚以后，你 和 父母 会 一起 住 吗？Jiéhūn yǐhòu, nǐ hé fùmǔ huì yīqǐ zhù ma? Will you live together with your parents after you get married?
  • 今天 晚上 老板 要 和 我们 一起 加班。Jīntiān wǎnshang, lǎobǎn yào hé wǒmen yīqǐ jiābān.Tonight the boss is going to to work overtime together with us.
