你好 Benny?
How do I say “both”?

I would like both of them.

Both are nice.

China and Russia are both big.

谢谢 再见

Dear sara,

I think both can be translated with dōu 都,
meaning ‘all’ or ‘both’, so your sentences would be:

我喜欢他都 wǒ xǐhuān tā dōu
中国和苏联都很大 zhōngguó hé sūlián dōu hěn dà

Hope this answers your question, and maybe Benny can help you more.
