Handshake = 握手 [Wò shǒu]
Two birds of prey perched on a window ledge politely shake talons. That is a 握手.
握手 (wòshǒu) means “to shake hands” or “handshake.” 握 means to grip and 手 is hand.
Say who with 跟 (gēn): 跟他握手, shake hands with him. It is a verb plus its object, so you can also say 握了握手 (wò le wò shǒu).
他们见面的时候握了握手。 — Tāmen jiànmiàn de shíhou wò le wò shǒu. — They shook hands when they met.
我跟新同事握了手。 — Wǒ gēn xīn tóngshì wò le shǒu. — I shook hands with my new coworker.
