Tentang 合う

When following the conjunctive form of another verb, the う - Verb 合(あ)う means to do that action in concert with another person/group. This is often translated as 'to mutually do (A)', or 'to do (A) for one another'. Realistically, it just means 'to do (A) reciprocally', with involvement from both sides being required. In this usage, 合(あ)う is considered to be a suffix.

This construction is often used with expressions like お互(たが)いに 'mutually', which simply emphasizes the point.

Fun Fact

While 合(あ)う is regularly translated as 'to fit', or 'to meet' in English, its meaning is somewhat broader in Japanese. 合(あ)う means to perform an action 'as one', where it is not possible (or would be difficult) to complete the action by oneself. Due to this, it is regularly used to describe ideal situations in which individuals should be doing something together, without thinking about their own personal gain.

Caution

合(あ)う may also be used to in regard to sports/contests. In these cases, it may seem like players are not doing the action 'for' each other, but involvement from both sides is required to make the act possible.

        Ambo100

        A related word that isn’t included as a grammar point on Bunpro but I think is worth comparing:

        〜て一緒に〜する (do together)

        一緒にご飯を食べる
        eat together (side-by-side)

        VS

        〜合う (mutual action)

        食べ合う
        feed each other

        From what I understand 一緒に is people are doing the same action in parallel, while with
        〜合う people are doing the action to each other?
