"coexist together", does "together" here sound reduntant?
because "co-" already has the meaning of "together"
or it is just ok?
Thank you!

Hello Joseph,
Yes, coexist means already exist together *co means together , jointly* , so it would be redundant to use "coexist together", sounds like a repetition of 2 words with the same meaning .

coexist is not the same meaning as together. Agreed with Troy.
I would not say it's redundant. B/c for example, 2 countries can "coexist" in the same world (like CAN & USA), but that doesn't mean they're "together".
Bob says: "We can coexist on this island together!"
Red replies: "No, we just need to coexist; I don't want to see you on this island, ever"

When in doubt, look up each word of the phrase in a dictionary from the country in which that phrase is being made. :)
