How do you say 'and' in Japanese?

Answer 1

There are several ways, depending on context.

そして /so shi te/ is usually used as conjunction between two sentences, like explaining an event and saying 'and then' etc.

や /ya/ is used when you want to group up or list a few or more things consecutively, like 'I like fast transportation like cars and.. planes and.. motorbikes.'

と /to/ is usually used to indicate company/togethernes, like 'with' which is one of its meanings, but also it means 'and'. Like saying 'Bob and Jason and I took the shortcut.'

それと /so re to/ is just a variant of と /to/ meaning literally 'that and', it is usually used when done explaining or mentioning something, then you want to add something else to the same subject, like saying 'She likes burgers; oh and also french fries.'

及び /o yo bi/ is very close to 'as well as' in English, like saying 'He studies agriculture, and also/as well asfood chemistry'.

There are far too many others left that could be related to this, but it would be off the subject and takes too long as well. The 3 first are more to the point of this question.

Answer 2

If someone asks you, 'how are you?' and you want to answer 'fine, and you?' it's: あなたは　Anata wa?

When you write it, don't use this--> '?' because it does not exist in Japanese language. Just use the dot 。
