A dvandva (Sanskrit द्वन्द्व ''dvandva'' 'pair') or twin or Siamese linguistic compound refers to one or more objects that could be connected in sense by the conjunction 'and', where the objects refer to the parts of an agglomeration described by the compound. Dvandvas are common in some languages such as Sanskrit where the term originates, as well as Chinese, Japanese, and some Modern Indic languages such as Hindi and Urdu, but less common in English (the term is not often found in English dictionaries). Examples include: * Sanskrit ''mātāpitarau'' (मातापितरौ) for 'mother and father' * Chinese ''shānchuān'' and Japanese ''yamakawa'' (山川) for 'mountains and rivers' * Modern Greek μαχαιροπήρουνο for 'fork and knife', ανδρόγυνο for "married couple (lit. man-woman)", μπαινοβγαίνω for "go in and out". * Finnic ''maa-ilma'' ("land-air") for "world". Note such compounds as ''singer-songwriter'', in the sense 'someone who is both a singer and a songwriter' are not ''dvandva'' compounds. Within the Sanskrit classification of compounds these are considered कर्मधारय ''karmadhāraya'' compounds such as राजर्षि ''rājarṣi'' 'king-sage,' i.e. 'one who is both a king and a sage' (राजा चासावृषिश्च). In Greek, σερνικοθήλυκο , being male and female. ==Sanskrit== There are two or three kinds of dvandva compounds in Sanskrit, depending on classification. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dvandva」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
