和
Meaning
- (joining two nouns) and; together with; with
- (math.) sum
- to make peace
Example sentence
和你无关。
Nothing to do with you.
The character 和
和 joins two nouns — 我和你 — and cannot join two clauses the way English 'and' does. Its other life is harmony: 和平 peace, 暖和 pleasantly warm, and the 和 of 温和, mild.
