Word Explanation
随和 (suí hé) is an adjective describing someone who is easygoing, relaxed, and agreeable in social interactions. Literally, 随 means 'to follow' or 'to go along with', and 和 means 'harmony' or 'peace'; together they convey the idea of going along with others to maintain harmony — not out of weakness, but from genuine openness and lack of rigidity. It suggests emotional flexibility, tolerance for differences, and a calm, unflappable demeanor.
This word is commonly used to describe personality traits in everyday conversation, job interviews, or character descriptions — especially when praising someone’s interpersonal warmth and adaptability. It carries positive connotations and is often contrasted with words like 固执 (stubborn) or 强势 (domineering). 随和 is typically used predicatively (e.g., 他很随和) or attributively before nouns (e.g., 一个随和的人), but rarely as a standalone noun or verb.
