In a sentence
あかと赤とredあお青blueをまぜる混ぜるmixとむらさき紫purpleになるbecome
How it works
This is a little recipe sentence. と (and / with) joins 赤 (red) to the next item, and を (object) marks 青 (blue) as what gets acted on. The second と (when / if) is different — attached to the verb 混ぜる (mix) it means “when you do this, that happens”. Finally に (into) plus なる (become) says the result turns into 紫 (purple).
