以及 (yǐjí) is used to join two things of the same type or two things of different types. It is commonly translated as "as well as" or "and" in English. It is pronounced as "yǐ jí" with the first tone on both characters.
When used to join two things of the same type, 以及 (yǐjí) emphasizes the addition of one thing to another. For example, "我喜欢吃水果以及蔬菜" (wǒ xǐhuan chī shuǐguǒ yǐjí shūcài) means "I like to eat both fruits and vegetables." In this sentence, 以及 (yǐjí) is used to emphasize that the speaker likes both fruits and vegetables, not just one or the other.
When used to join two things of different types, 以及 (yǐjí) emphasizes the inclusion of one thing with another. For example, "我喜欢看电影以及听音乐" (wǒ xǐhuan kàn diànyǐng yǐjí tīng yīnyuè) means "I like to watch movies as well as listen to music." In this sentence, 以及 (yǐjí) is used to emphasize that the speaker enjoys both activities, not just one or the other.

以及 (yǐjí) is used more often in written language than in spoken language. This is because it is a formal way of expressing the idea of "as well as, and" and is often used in formal documents, such as legal documents, contracts, and official reports. In spoken language, it is more common to use other words such as 和 (hé) or 还有 (háiyǒu) to express the same idea.
