Usage of 与

[mthmchris]

I'm having problems understanding how to use this. Seems to be a bit common, but it's not under the sticky. For example, why would you use it in this sentence?

那与我无关.

---> "I have nothing to do with it"

Is a good translation actually "with"?

[Don_Horhe]

It's a formal 和. 此事与我无关 and 这件事和我没关系 are the same, the former being more formal.

Yes, and you'd usually find it in written language. You will rarely hear it spoken, other than in chengyu.

I've heard used before in a news interview.

Cellist Yo Yo Ma (马友友) performed a few months ago here in Shanghai with pianist Kathryn Stott (凯瑟琳·史托特). The signs and posters for the event all said: "马友友与凯瑟琳·史托特."

So, yes, translating 与 as "with" would be accurate in some circumstances.
