randall_flagg Posted February 7, 2007 at 05:07 AM Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 at 05:07 AM I understand what it means, sure no problem. But why? What does 给 mean in this sentence? I know that it can also mean 把, sometimes, as in 我要给你卖了 哈哈哈! Anyone? This is my first post in like...forever! Don't know how everyone did it during those harsh weeks following the earthquake, but I for one was not able to visit this site for four weeks solid. This feels like a rebirth!

skylee Posted February 7, 2007 at 05:56 AM Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 at 05:56 AM AFAIK, 我把她給殺了=我把她殺了. I know that it can also mean 把, sometimes, as in 我要给你卖了 哈哈哈! Anyone? I think this understanding is not correct. Oh, and welcome back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gougou Posted February 7, 2007 at 05:58 AM Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 at 05:58 AM It's a particle helping to make the sentence structure clearer; usually, it can be omitted. It is also used in passive constructions, e.g. 他被车给撞了。 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
