Is there any difference between 'coincident' and 'coincidental' ?
Both of them are adjective, when should we use them ?
thanks .

coincidental is more common than coincident. A LOT more common. Don't worry about using coincident in everyday conversation.
Btw, the noun form (coincidence) is most common. "What a coincidence!" means 真巧.

It is a coincidence that we are here at the same time. It was a coincidental meeting. This means it was by chance. Nothing causes a coincidence. It just happens. You would not need to use the word coincident.
coincidence is a noun. coincidental _______ is an adjective.
