Randy W Posted April 21, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2023 Link nouns with 和 (hé) The most common way to express “and” in Chinese is probably 和 (hé). Remember, though, that 和 can only be used to link nouns. You can't link verbs together with 和. 和 is used to link nouns in the same way “and” is used in English. Some examples: 我和我哥哥要去北京。 Wǒ hé wǒ gēgē yào qù Běijīng. My brother and I are going to Beijing. 我喜欢米饭和面条。 Wǒ xǐhuan mǐfàn hé miàntiáo. I like rice and noodles. 我和你一样。 Wǒ hé nǐ yīyàng. You and I are the same. Link nouns with 和 but not verbs. Linking verbs in Chinese is a bit more complicated so we won't look at it here. from China in my Eyes on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/Chinainmyeyes.mochi/posts/pfbid0zXHg96r8YYMMv1ouNuMmUeJDNSLXBuekEi1xjShoXnhTyRcyx4F6ubEZQYLVBmL1l Link to comment

Randy W Posted May 10, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2023 This doesn't help me a bit - I'm confused as ever about tones - but maybe it's telling me something about relative pitch between tones and the effect of two tones comingled.
