と (And)

And

JLPT N5
Pattern

Noun A + と + Noun B

How it works

と joins nouns into a complete list: “A and B (and nothing else)”. Compare や, which gives only examples. と joins nouns only; to link verbs or adjectives use the て-form.

Examples

  • 弟と 妹が います。I have a younger brother and a younger sister.
  • パンと たまごを 買いました。I bought bread and eggs.
