cùng hội cùng thuyền

Vietnamese

Adjective

cùng hội cùng thuyền

1. (literal) same cohort, same boat

Usage notes

• Unlike the English expression in the same boat which describes an unpleasant situation in which people may inadvertently find themselves, this phrase does not necessarily have negative connotation.
