Keywords
The character 又 (yòu) can be used to attribute two qualities to something. This is like saying that something is "both ... and ... " in English.
Structure
The structure in Chinese is:
Subject + 又 + Adjective 1 + 又 + Adjective 2
Examples
- 他 又 高 又 帅。
- 她 又 聪明 又 漂亮。
- 这 个 啤酒 又 好喝 又 便宜。
- 他 又 丑 又 笨。
Notice that as in English, the two words can't contrast in feeling. They must both be bad or both be good.
