- <p>When some action is mutual, you can use the word 互相 (hùxiāng).
- The word "mutual" feels formal in English, but in Chinese even
- everyday phrases such as "learn from each other" use the word 互相,
- which expresses this "each other" aspect.</p>
- <h2 id="structure">Structure</h2>
- <p>Usually 互相 (hùxiāng) is used with two-syllable words, and for
- one-syllable words some other information will be added after the
- verb to make it sound more natural (see below for examples of
- this.)</p>
- <div class="jiegou">
- <p>互相 + Verb</p>
- </div>
- <h2 id="examples">Examples</h2>
- <div class="liju">
- <ul>
- <li><em>互相</em> 帮助 <span class="pinyin"><em>hùxiāng</em>
- bāngzhù</span><span class="trans">Help each other</span></li>
- <li><em>互相</em> 了解 <span class="pinyin"><em>hùxiāng</em>
- liǎojiě</span><span class="trans">Know each other</span></li>
- <li><em>互相</em> 伤害 <span class="pinyin"><em>hùxiāng</em>

- <li><em>互相</em> 尊重 <span class="pinyin"><em>hùxiāng</em>
- zūnzhòng</span><span class="trans">Respect each other</span></li>
- <li><em>互相</em> 支持 <span class="pinyin"><em>hùxiāng</em>
- zhīchí</span><span class="trans">Support each other</span></li>
- <li><em>互相</em> 鼓励 <span class="pinyin"><em>hùxiāng</em>

- <li><em>互相</em> 影响 <span class="pinyin"><em>hùxiāng</em>

- <li><em>互相</em> 利用 <span class="pinyin"><em>hùxiāng</em>
- lìyòng</span><span class="trans">Take advantage of each
- other</span></li>
- </ul>
- </div>
- <p>Don't use 互相 (hùxiāng) with single-syllable verbs. If you really
- have to use 互相, you can make the verb longer by adding extra
- information after it.</p>
- <div class="liju">
- <ul>
- <li><em>互相</em> 看 <span class="pinyin"><em>hùxiāng</em>
- kàn</span><span class="trans">look at each other</span></li>
- <li><em>互相</em> 看 了 一 眼 <span class="pinyin"><em>hùxiāng</em> kàn
- le yī yǎn</span><span class="trans">glanced at each
- other</span></li>
- </ul>
- </div>
- <p>Note that for some verbs which are inherently "mutual," the use
- of 互相 (hùxiāng) is redundant and unnecessary. So the following
- phrases are not <em>wrong</em>, but a little strange.</p>
- <div class="liju">
- <ul>
- <li><em>互相</em> 拥抱 <span class="pinyin"><em>hùxiāng</em>
- yōngbào</span><span class="trans">hug each other</span></li>
- <li><em>互相</em> 交流 <span class="pinyin"><em>hùxiāng</em>
- jiāoliú</span><span class="trans">communicate with each
- other</span></li>
- </ul>
