Definition
连同 (lián tóng) is a formal conjunction meaning 'together with, including' — it groups items as a whole, often in writing or official contexts. Unlike 连 (lián, 'including, even'), 连同 does not carry the 'even' sense and is less colloquial; unlike 与/同 (yǔ/tóng, 'and, with'), it explicitly adds the idea of inclusion.
