Chinese denotes the concept("mutual acquaintance") differently. These are the idiomatic sentences in mandarin:




我们两个都认识他 // both of us have an acquaintance with him. Or he is a mutual acquaintance of ours.



张三和李四都和我相识 // both 张三 and 李四 have an acquaintance with me.



张三和李四都认识王五 // both 张三 and 李四 have an acquaintance with 王五.




However, when it comes to the term "mutual friend", you can put 共同的朋友. For example,




张三是我们共同的朋友 // 张三 is a mutual friend of ours.

    Chinese don't usually use the term "mutual acquaintance" (共同的相识)



    The more common way to describe a mutual acquaintance would be like the example below:




    Tony is a [mutual acquaintance] of you and I



    托尼是你跟我[都認識的熟人] (Mandarin) Tony is an acquaintance of both you and I



    東尼係你同我[都識得嘅熟人] (Cantonese) Tony is an acquaintance of both you and I

      According to how mutual acquaintance is often used, it should mean 共同的相识。



      Acquaintance is not yet a friend, a friend is 朋友，an acquaintance is 相识的人。



      I am not sure how you speak in Cantonese, but they write the same.
