Usage of 和 (hé)

In the first year of learning Chinese, you will see the word “和” very often. It is translated to “and.” For example, “我和你” means “you and me”, and “这个和那个” means  “this and that.”

In this infographic, we talk about when “和” is equal to “and” and when IT IS NOT. Check out this infographic and learn more!
