Beo Posted April 5, 2020 at 03:18 PM Report Share Posted April 5, 2020 at 03:18 PM hey guys, I'm not entirely sure about the differences between 和, 跟 and 与 . Example: 很多人害怕与周围的人比较 Why is 与 being used in the sentence above and not 和 or 跟? are all three interchangeably? Cheers Beo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abcdefg Posted April 6, 2020 at 01:13 AM Report Share Posted April 6, 2020 at 01:13 AM Your example sentence looks incomplete. Are you sure this is the whole sentence? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beo Posted April 6, 2020 at 11:31 AM Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2020 at 11:31 AM @abcdefg: The complete sentence is: 很多人害怕与周围的人比较，比较不但让失败的人更难受，而且让那些成功的人感到有压力，因为肯定还有比他们更成功的人。 I omitted the rest because I thought it's not relevant for my question.

I mostly focus on learning to speak Chinese, so my character knowledge is somewhat limit. However, now if i see 与, I'll remember it. (And Beo - thanks for posting the question!). I've often found that when I learn several ways to express the same thing, I remember them more easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
