What does "与之" mean or do in a sentence?


Recommended Posts

Posted

I've seen "与之" in a couple of sentences but don't know what it's there for, since the sentences all seem ok without it:

值得某人与之交锋

可与之打交道的

不能与之为敌,便与之为伍

产生与之相同的感情

Looks like a remnant of classical Chinese to me but I wonder anyone's got some better explanation/ info.

Edit: Just realised that 之 can be used as a pronoun, so the question has been answered. Sorry!

Simply 与 = with, and 之= it/him/her.
I realised this as soon I posted the question, but just couldn't delete the post :mrgreen:.

Thank you for confirming, anyway! :)
