和

• 拼音: hé
• 汉字拆解: 和 = 禾 (grain) + 口 (mouth) — harmony, voices in unison

含义

And; with. The most common conjunction for linking nouns and a preposition meaning with.

As a conjunction, 和 connects nouns or noun phrases: 我和你 (you and I), 苹果和香蕉 (apples and bananas). As a preposition, it means with (和他一起 together with him). Unlike English 'and', 和 typically only links nouns, not clauses or verbs. For linking actions, use 也, 又, or other structures instead.

例句

1. 我和妈妈去商店了。
2. 苹果和香蕉都很好吃。
3. 他和朋友一起打篮球。
