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 can only be used to link nouns. Verbs (or whole sentences) should not be linked with 和.

Noun 1 + 和 + Noun 2

Examples

  • 我。You and I.
  • 去 公园。I want to go to the park with you .
  • 我 喜欢 可乐 I like cola and tea.
  • 一起 工作。He and I work together.

  • 我 的 朋友 都 喜欢 中国 菜。My friend and I both like Chinese food.
