Scoobyqueen Posted October 27, 2008 at 07:30 PM Report Posted October 27, 2008 at 07:30 PM I would be grateful if someone could point towards the meaning of 来说 in the following context: 你们对于这个论坛来说是举足轻重的。 Does it mean "it would be fair to say xyz" or "certainly is xyz". Thanks in advance for any light shedding. Quote

renzhe Posted October 27, 2008 at 10:59 PM Report Posted October 27, 2008 at 10:59 PM Another common use of this construction is "对我来说...", meaning "as far as I'm concerned...." Quote

loosen Posted October 28, 2008 at 09:16 AM Report Posted October 28, 2008 at 09:16 AM the same meaning as "to" “你们对于这个论坛来说是举足轻重的” can be translated as "You are so important to this forum " Quote
