"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"

No, coexist (especially with the word together) implies existing in peace. Entities can exist in the same environment, but be enemies. to·geth·er (t-gr) adv. 1. In or into a single group, mass, or place. Coexist: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/coexist 2. To live in peace with another or others despite differences, especially as a matter of policy http://www.thefreedictionary.com/coexist From the latin root co-, as in common. co- pref. 1. Together; joint; jointly; mutually: coeducation. 2. a. Partner or associate in an activity: coauthor; cofounder. b. Subordinate or assistant: copilot. **-->>3. To the same extent or degree: coextensive. 4. Complement of an angle: cotangent.<&lt--- http://www.thefreedictionary.com/co- When in doubt, look up each word of the phrase in a dictionary from the country in which that phrase is being made. :) When giving answers, look for a cite able source to fact check.
