共同

共同 refers to something shared or held in common by a group of people. It emphasizes collective ownership, responsibility, or interest, often implying collaboration or unity.

The character 共 (gòng) means 'to share' or 'common,' and 同 (tóng) means 'same' or 'together.' Together, they convey the idea of a shared goal, resource, or experience that involves multiple parties.

共同 is commonly used in contexts like community efforts, joint ventures, or shared responsibilities. In Chinese culture, it reflects values such as cooperation, collectivism, and mutual benefit. Phrases like 共同努力 (gòngtóng nǔlì, joint effort) or 共同目标 (gòngtóng mùbiāo, common goal) highlight its usage in daily and formal communication.
