既...又...
When you want to say someone or something has two qualities at the same time, or does two actions simultaneously, you can use 既…又….
It's like saying "both... and..." in English.
For example, if you want to say someone is both smart and kind, you would use 既…又….
It helps you describe things more completely by connecting two different points about the same subject.
When you want to express that something has two qualities at the same time, or that someone is doing two actions simultaneously, you can use the structure “既…又…”.
Think of it like saying “both…and…” in English. For example, if a dish is both delicious and cheap, you can say it’s “既好吃又便宜”.
Another example: if someone can both sing and dance, you can describe them as “既会唱歌又会跳舞”.
This pattern is very useful for combining two positive or negative attributes or actions in a single sentence, making your Chinese sound more natural and fluent.
When you want to express that two qualities or actions happen at the same time, you can use the structure "既...又...". This is a very common and practical construction in Chinese. Think of it like saying "both... and..." or "not only... but also..." in English.
For example, if you want to say someone is both smart and beautiful, you would say "她既聪明又漂亮" (Tā jì cōngmíng yòu piàoliang). Or, if you want to describe an action that is both convenient and fast, you could say "既方便又快" (jì fāngbiàn yòu kuài).
It's a useful way to combine two characteristics or actions into one sentence, making your descriptions more concise and natural. Practice using it to connect related ideas!
When you want to express that something has two qualities at the same time, or that two actions happen concurrently, you can use the structure 既...又....
It's similar to saying "both...and..." in English. For example, if you want to say someone is both intelligent and hardworking, you would use this structure.
It emphasizes the presence of two characteristics or events simultaneously, making your description more complete.
This pattern is very common, so mastering it will significantly improve your ability to describe things and situations.
When using “既…又…”, it's important to remember that it connects two elements that are equally true or apply simultaneously. For example, if you say “她既漂亮又聪明” (Tā jì piàoliang yòu cōngmíng), it means she is both beautiful and intelligent.
This structure emphasizes the coexistence of these two qualities or actions. You can use it to describe people, objects, or situations. Just make sure the two things you're connecting with “既…又…” are on the same level grammatically.
When using "既...又...", the elements within the structure must be of the same grammatical type. For instance, if you use a verb after "既", you must also use a verb after "又". This structure can connect adjectives, verbs, or short phrases, but consistency is key. It's often used to describe a subject possessing two characteristics or performing two actions concurrently. Remember, the two parts connected by "既...又..." should logically complement each other, emphasizing a dual nature.
既...又... in 30 Sekunden
- Use 既...又... to say 'both...and...'.
- It connects two simultaneous qualities or actions.
- Commonly used to describe people, things, or situations.
§ What does 既…又… mean?
- Definition
- Both...and...; indicating two simultaneous qualities or actions.
The Chinese structure 既…又… (jì… yòu…) is a really common and useful way to say “both… and…” It’s used to link two things that are true about the same subject or two actions that happen at the same time. Think of it as a double affirmative. You're emphasizing that two different characteristics or events are happening concurrently, or that a person/thing possesses two qualities simultaneously.
When you use 既…又…, you're basically saying that two situations, qualities, or actions exist or occur together. It adds a sense of emphasis that both aspects are present. It's a more formal and emphatic way to say “and” when you’re talking about two parallel things.
§ When do people use it?
People use 既…又… in a variety of situations. Here are the main ones:
To describe two qualities of a noun: This is probably the most common use. You can use it to describe a person, an object, a place, or even an abstract concept having two attributes at once.
他既聪明又努力。
He is both smart and hardworking.
这个地方既漂亮又安静。
This place is both beautiful and quiet.
To describe two actions happening at the same time: You can use it to connect two verbs or verb phrases that are happening concurrently or are associated with the same subject's actions.
她既唱歌又跳舞。
She both sings and dances.
我们既要工作又要学习。
We must both work and study.
To express reasons or conditions: Sometimes, it can be used to explain why something is happening, citing two reasons or conditions simultaneously.
他既没钱又没时间，所以不能去旅行。
He has neither money nor time, so he can't travel. (Here, the negative is implied for both parts.)
§ Important things to remember:
Parallel structure: The words or phrases after 既 and 又 must be of the same grammatical type. If you have an adjective after 既, you need an adjective after 又. If you have a verb phrase, you need another verb phrase.
Often positive: While you can imply a negative (as in the money/time example above), 既…又… is most often used to link two positive attributes or actions. For explicitly negative constructions, you might use different structures like 既不…又不… (jì bù… yòu bù…).
Emphasis: Using 既…又… adds a stronger emphasis on the co-existence of the two elements than just using 和 (hé, and) or 并且 (bìngqiě, and/moreover).
§ How to use it in a sentence
The structure 既…又… (jì… yòu…) is your go-to when you want to express two qualities or actions that happen at the same time. Think of it as 'both… and…' or 'not only… but also…'. It's super handy for describing things or people with multiple characteristics, or for connecting two simultaneous actions. Let's break down how to use it effectively.
- Structure
- 既 + Adjective/Verb + 又 + Adjective/Verb
This is the most common way you'll see 既…又… used. You place an adjective or a verb after 既 and another adjective or verb after 又. The key is that the two parts connected by 既…又… should be similar in grammatical form and convey a parallel meaning.
她既聪明又漂亮。(Tā jì cōngmíng yòu piàoliang.)
Translation hint: She is both clever and beautiful.
这个饭馆的菜既便宜又好吃。(Zhège fànguǎn de cài jì piányi yòu hǎochī.)
Translation hint: The food at this restaurant is both cheap and delicious.
§ Connecting two clauses
You can also use 既…又… to connect two clauses, where the clauses are parallel in meaning and refer to the same subject performing two actions or having two characteristics.
他既喜欢踢足球，又喜欢打篮球。(Tā jì xǐhuān tī zúqiú, yòu xǐhuān dǎ lánqiú.)
Translation hint: He both likes playing soccer and likes playing basketball.
这项工作既有挑战性，又很有意义。(Zhè xiàng gōngzuò jì yǒu tiǎozhànxìng, yòu hěn yǒu yìyì.)
Translation hint: This job is both challenging and meaningful.
§ Common mistakes to avoid
Don't use it with opposites: 既…又… is for connecting things that go together or are complementary. If you want to say 'on one hand… on the other hand…' with opposing ideas, you'll need a different structure, like 一方面…另一方面… (yī fāngmiàn… lìng yī fāngmiàn…).
Keep it parallel: Ensure that what comes after 既 and what comes after 又 are grammatically similar. If you have an adjective after 既, you should have an adjective after 又. If you have a verb phrase after 既, you should have a verb phrase after 又.
Don't overcomplicate: Sometimes, a simple 'and' (和 hé) or 'also' (也 yě) might suffice if the connection isn't as strong as 'both… and…'. Use 既…又… when you really want to emphasize the simultaneous presence of two qualities or actions.
§ Don't Forget the '又'
The most common mistake learners make with 既...又... is forgetting the '又'. You need both parts to make this structure work. It's a pair! Just using 既... or ...又... on its own isn't correct when you want to express "both...and...".
他既聪明又努力。 (He is both smart and hardworking.)
Incorrect examples would be:
- 他既聪明。 (Incorrect)
- 他努力又聪明。 (Incorrect usage of 既...又... structure)
§ Placement of Subjects
Another common error is placing the subject incorrectly. If the two qualities or actions apply to the same subject, the subject usually comes *before* 既.
他既会说汉语又会说英语。 (He can both speak Chinese and speak English.)
If the two qualities or actions apply to different subjects, or if the subjects are emphasized, then each subject can appear after 既 and 又, respectively. However, this is less common with 既...又... and more typical with other structures.
- WARNING
- For beginners, stick to putting the subject before 既...又... when the same subject performs both actions or has both qualities. It's the safest and most natural way to use it.
§ Using It with Negative Statements
You generally don't use 既...又... with negative statements. While grammatically it might not be strictly 'wrong' in all cases, it often sounds unnatural and there are better ways to express two negative qualities or actions. For example, to say "neither...nor...", you would typically use "不...也不..." or "没...也没...".
他不高也不矮。 (He is neither tall nor short.)
Trying to force 既...又... into a negative context like "他既不高又也不矮" is awkward and incorrect. Stick to the simpler negative parallel structures.
§ Overlapping Meanings with Other Structures
Sometimes learners confuse 既...又... with other structures that express similarity or addition. Remember that 既...又... specifically emphasizes two *simultaneous* qualities or actions that coexist. It's not just about listing things. For simple lists, you might use 和 (and) or 并 (and, furthermore).
Compare:
这个地方既安静又美丽。 (This place is both quiet and beautiful.)
(Implies these two qualities exist at the same time in the same place.)
With a simple list:
我喜欢苹果和香蕉。 (I like apples and bananas.)
(Just listing two things.)
The key is the idea of *simultaneity* or *coexistence* when using 既...又.... It's about two aspects being true at the same time for the same thing or person.
How Formal Is It?
"此举亦有助于经济发展，亦能提升国际形象。"
"这家餐厅的菜品既美味又实惠。"
"这个电影又搞笑又感人。"
"小猫又可爱又调皮。"
"他今天又是请假又是迟到，真不靠谱。"
Wusstest du?
This construction is a common way to describe duality or multiple attributes without implying a contradiction, unlike some Western rhetorical devices that might highlight contrast.

This structure means 'not only...but also...' It's similar in that it connects two clauses, but it emphasizes the second part as an addition or intensification, whereas '既...又...' emphasizes two equally present qualities or actions.
This structure means 'while.../at the same time...' and is specifically used for two actions happening simultaneously. While '既...又...' can also describe simultaneous actions, it can also describe simultaneous qualities, and '一边...一边...' focuses purely on actions.
This structure means 'even...' and is used to emphasize an unexpected or extreme case. It's different because it focuses on emphasis rather than simply listing two simultaneous qualities or actions.

Basic Structure
The basic structure is 既 (jì) + Clause/Adjective 1, 又 (yòu) + Clause/Adjective 2. It's used to connect two things that are true at the same time.
Connecting Adjectives
You can use it to connect two adjectives describing the same noun. For example, 这件衣服既漂亮又舒服 (Zhè jiàn yīfu jì piàoliang yòu shūfu). This piece of clothing is both pretty and comfortable.
Connecting Verbs/Actions
It can also connect two verbs or actions that happen simultaneously or are both performed. For example, 他既喜欢唱歌又喜欢跳舞 (Tā jì xǐhuan chànggē yòu xǐhuan tiàowǔ). He both likes to sing and likes to dance.
Connecting Clauses
For more complex sentences, you can connect two clauses. For example, 这个问题既简单又重要 (Zhè ge wèntí jì jiǎndān yòu zhòngyào). This question is both simple and important.
Positive Connotations
Most often, 既...又... is used to express positive qualities or actions, or at least neutral ones. While not exclusively positive, it often highlights multiple good aspects.
Don't Mix with '和'
Avoid using 既...又... with 和 (hé) in the same structure if '和' is meant to connect the two clauses/adjectives themselves. 既...又... already implies the 'and' connection. It's redundant and incorrect. For example, not '既...和...又...'.
Similar to '不但...而且...'
While similar to '不但...而且...' (not only...but also...), 既...又... emphasizes simultaneity or equality of the two aspects, whereas 不但...而且... often implies an intensifying or additional point.
Practice with Daily Routines
Think about your daily routine. What do you both do and feel? E.g., 我既学习又工作 (Wǒ jì xuéxí yòu gōngzuò). I both study and work.
Use with Opposites (Sometimes)
While typically for similar things, it can sometimes be used with qualities that are contrasting but simultaneously true in a specific context. For example, 他既聪明又努力 (Tā jì cōngmíng yòu nǔlì). He is both smart and hardworking.
Listen to Native Speakers
Pay attention to how native speakers use 既...又... in conversations. This will help you get a natural feel for its usage and common contexts. Listen for intonation and phrasing.
Einprägen
Eselsbrücke
Imagine two 'J's (for 既) holding hands with two 'Y's (for 又). They are inseparable, just like the two qualities or actions they connect. 'J' and 'Y' are *both* there, *and* they are together.
Visuelle Assoziation
Picture a person with two hats on. One hat says '既' and the other says '又'. This person is simultaneously embodying two roles or qualities, hence 'both...and...'. Or, imagine a seesaw perfectly balanced with '既' on one side and '又' on the other, showing equal presence of two things.

Wortherkunft
The structure '既...又...' has ancient roots in Chinese grammar, appearing in classical texts. '既' (jì) originally meant 'already' or 'since,' and '又' (yòu) meant 'again' or 'furthermore.'
Ursprüngliche Bedeutung: Over time, their combined use evolved to express the concurrent existence of two states or actions, moving beyond a simple temporal sequence to denote a compound characteristic.
Sino-Tibetan, Sinitic languages, Chinese.Kultureller Kontext
<p>In Chinese culture, balance and duality are often emphasized, as seen in concepts like Yin and Yang. While '既...又...' doesn't directly relate to Yin and Yang, its grammatical structure reflects a common way of thinking that allows for the simultaneous appreciation of multiple aspects. It's a very common and practical structure used in everyday conversations to efficiently describe situations or people with multiple characteristics.</p>
Häufig gestellte Fragen
10 FragenThe best way to remember '既...又...' is to think of it like 'both this AND that.' The '既' sets up the first quality or action, and the '又' adds the second one. Try to create your own sentences using the structure with things you like or do often. For example, '我既喜欢吃辣，又喜欢吃甜。' (Wǒ jì xǐhuān chī là, yòu xǐhuān chī tián. - I both like spicy food and sweet food.)
Yes, you can use '既...又...' with adjectives, verbs, or even short phrases. The key is that the two parts connected by '既' and '又' should be of a similar grammatical type. For example, '她既漂亮又聪明。' (Tā jì piàoliang yòu cōngmíng. - She is both beautiful and intelligent.) or '他既会唱歌又会跳舞。' (Tā jì huì chànggē yòu huì tiàowǔ. - He can both sing and dance.)
'既...又...' is quite versatile and can be used in both formal and informal contexts. It's a very common and natural way to express 'both...and...' in Chinese.
Yes, there are a few. For instance, you could use '不但...而且...' (bù dàn...ér qiě... - not only...but also...). While similar, '不但...而且...' often implies an emphasis on the second point, suggesting it's even more significant. '既...又...' tends to give equal weight to both parts.
If you only want to mention one quality, you wouldn't use '既...又...'. This structure specifically requires two simultaneous qualities or actions. Just state the single quality directly. For example, instead of '她既漂亮', you would just say '她很漂亮。' (Tā hěn piàoliang. - She is very beautiful.)
Generally, the order of the two parts in '既...又...' doesn't significantly change the meaning, as long as both parts are grammatically correct. However, sometimes one order might sound slightly more natural depending on the context. Focus on making sure both parts make sense together.
Yes, you can absolutely use '既...又...' to describe negative qualities or actions. For example, '这份工作既累人又无聊。' (Zhè fèn gōngzuò jì lèi rén yòu wúliáo. - This job is both tiring and boring.)
No, typically there is no comma directly after '既' or '又' in this structure. The phrase functions as a single unit to connect the two elements. For example, '他既高又帅。' (Tā jì gāo yòu shuài. - He is both tall and handsome.)
While '既...又...' primarily connects phrases or clauses within a single sentence, you can sometimes see it connecting more complex ideas that are effectively like two mini-sentences. However, it's most commonly used for shorter, more direct connections within a sentence.
'和' (hé) is a simple conjunction meaning 'and,' used to connect nouns or noun phrases. '既...又...' is a correlative conjunction structure that emphasizes the simultaneous existence of two qualities or actions. For example, you'd say '我喜欢苹果和香蕉。' (Wǒ xǐhuān píngguǒ hé xiāngjiāo. - I like apples and bananas.) But '他既聪明又努力。' (Tā jì cōngmíng yòu nǔlì. - He is both intelligent and hardworking.) You wouldn't say '他聪明和努力。' in this context.

“既...又...”常用于表达同一主体同时拥有的，或在某些情境下看似矛盾却又和谐共存的两种特质。选项A和B连接了直接相反的形容词，使用不自然。选项D连接的是两个独立的动作意愿，虽然语法没错，但不如选项C所表达的复合特质来得地道和深刻。选项C巧妙地描述了城市同时具备现代和历史两种属性，十分贴切。
“既...又...”可以连接两个完全矛盾的形容词来表示讽刺。
“既...又...”主要用于连接并列的、性质相同或相关联的成分，表达事物同时具备多种属性。虽然口语中偶尔会用，但在规范表达中，它通常不用于连接完全矛盾的形容词，更不直接用于表达讽刺。讽刺通常通过语境或特定修辞手法实现。

“既...又...”也可以连接两个否定形式，表示“既不...也不...”，强调两者都不具备。所以这句话是正确的用法。
