Information
  • (A) が (B) と相まって (C) is used to express that combining (A) with (B) will give rise to (C). Can also express synergy, where the interaction of (A) and (B) creates a stronger effect than each would individually. For example, pizza bread by itself or tomato sauce by itself are not that good, but when combined you get an amazing pizza. Usually, (C) is positive.
