Used to add another reason or point to support a statement. Often appears after a comma in a sentence.
Use '况且' to present an additional reason that makes your argument stronger. It’s like saying 'and what’s more' in English. For example: 'The food here is delicious, and what’s more, it’s very affordable.'
The structure is usually: [Statement A], 况且 [Reason B]. Reason B should logically support or add to Statement A. Example: 'He is smart, 况且 he works hard.'
Composed of '况' (to compare; situation) and '且' (and; moreover). The word evolved from Classical Chinese to modern Mandarin, retaining its conjunctive function to add supplementary reasons.
1. '况且' is more formal than '再说' and '而且', often used in written Chinese or formal speech. 2. It typically introduces a reason that strengthens the previous statement. 3. Avoid overusing it in casual conversation.
