〜と並んで

About

The と並ならんで pattern is a combination of the と particle and the て form of the verb 並ならぶ.

～と並ならんで is used to express "alongside X; comparable to X", and only attaches to nouns.

The main difference between ～と並ならんで and the similar grammar structure～と同おなじで, is that ～と並ならんで tends to "line up" things of a similar category, while ～と同おなじ tends to deal more with aspects/things that have "degrees"

E.g. この店みせは、ラーメンと並ならんでみそカツが人気にんきです。 "Along with ramen, this restaurant's miso katsu is popular."

E.g. 運動うんどうは睡眠すいみんと並ならんで、健康けんこうには欠かかせないものだ。 "Along with sleep, exercise is indispensable for health."
