Usage of

The character (tóng) primarily means "same" or "together." It is often used to express similarity or shared characteristics, as in 同样 (tóngyàng) meaning "the same." It can also indicate doing something together or jointly, such as (tóng zhù) meaning "live together."

Common Collocations

  • 同样 (tóngyàng): same, alike — used to describe identical qualities or conditions.
  • 同意 (tóngyì): agree — used in formal or informal contexts to express agreement.
  • (tóng zhù): live together — indicates sharing a residence.

Notes

When used as a preposition or adverb, often implies cooperation or shared action. It is more formal than just using (hé) for "and" or "with." Avoid confusing with (tǒng), which relates to unification or control. emphasizes sameness or joint participation rather than hierarchy or control.
