Discussion of 一同

Let's take a look at 一起 and 一同
1. 一同 [yi4 tong2] , (adv) together, at the same time and place
2. 一起 [yi4 qi3] , (n/adv) the same group, place, etc.; together, in company; (dialect) altogether, in all

Their major difference is:
一起 can be a noun and when it is a noun, it can be appear after a verb or preposition:
E.g. 她跟男朋友住在一起。 [phr] She lives with (her) boyfriend.
E.g. 放在一起 [phr] put together
In these two sentences above, we cannot use 一同 to replace 一起.

一同 shares the second meaning of 一起 (adv.), meaning "(to do something) together, at the same time and place". In this sense, they are interchangeable:
E.g. 我们一起 (or 一同) 去吧！ [phr] Let's go together!

一同 does not have the last meaning of 一起: (dialect) altogether, in all

一同 (yītóng) is a commonly used phrase in Chinese conversation that means "together" or "at the same time and place." It is often used to express the idea of doing something with someone else, or being in the same location as someone else. In terms of pronunciation, after tone change, 一同 (yītóng) is pronounced as "yì tóng" in spoken Mandarin Chinese.

For example, if you are going to a movie with a friend, you could say "我们一同去看电影吧" (wǒmen yìtóng qù kàn diànyǐng ba), which means "Let's go watch a movie together."

In addition to being used with people, 一同 can also be used with actions or events. For instance, you could say "我们一同学习中文" (wǒmen yìtóng xuéxí zhōngwén), which means "We are studying Chinese together."
