既 (jì) can be used in conjunction with either 又 (yòu) or 也 (yě) to express that something is "both A and B": 既 + A + 又 + B A and B can be adjectives, verbs or short phrases. Most of the time A and B will be of the same form. It often sounds better one both A and B are single syllables or both are two syllables. The structure can also be formed with 也, but here it is used primarily for verbs or verb phrases:
