How to say "together" in Japanese
- 共々ともどもadverbCovers 'together' in the sense of being in someone's company. For the everyday 'do X together' it is seldom the word you want — that is 一緒に's role.
- adverbCovers 'together; jointly' — two or more people or sides acting as one or sharing an aim or experience. It is normally written in kana.私と共に来てくれませんか。↗Would you mind coming with me?
- 一緒にいっしょにadverbThe usual, all-purpose word for 'together (with)': being or doing something with someone, such as going, eating or working together. If you simply mean 'with someone', this is it.
- 相まってあいまってadverbNot about people being together in one place: it says that one thing, coupled with another, produces a result — one factor combining with a second to bring something about.
- 互いにたがいにadverbCovers 'together' only in the reciprocal sense: two parties doing something to or with each other — 'mutually'. For plain 'together with someone' it is not the word you want.
Choose 「一緒に」 for being or doing something with someone, 「ともに」 for joint action or shared aims, 「互いに」 for mutual 'each other' action, 「相まって」 for one factor coupled with another, and treat 共々 as a marginal 'in company' option.
