I'd think "You and I are/come from the same town!" is a natural expression, but if you want a word for it then the choices could be: countryman, townee, home boy, etc. I would guess you want an English equivalent for the Chinese word "Tong Xiang", but as far as I know, even those equivalents listed above are not used in English as the way in Chinese.

Hi,

how about "fellow countrymen". On the first glance it seems a tad to global. But like Haihao wrote apparently there isn't a word that refers to people comming from the same city.

Hi,

What about: You and and I are fellow citizens ?

I agree with Michael, and "fellow countrymen" is more closer to what was concerned about the expression.

[Haihao]

Oops, Alan. "Air miss" again. :-)

[Haihao]

Oh yes, "fellow citizens" is pinpoint to it.

Hi Haihao,

I think I know what you mean but I believe the expression you need is 'Yes, that's spot on.'
