HashiriKata Posted September 25, 2004 at 01:41 PM Report Posted September 25, 2004 at 01:41 PM Hi everyone! This is my first post and I'm very pleased to have found this wonderful site. I'm fairly new in learning Chinese (mostly self-taught) and here is my question: I came across this sentence from a love song: 只要你真心拿爱与我回应，我什么都愿意。 Although I understand the meaning ok but I'm not sure of the structure in 拿爱与我回应. Does it mean "(If you sincerely) respond to me with love" ? and can someone also please try rephrasing this sentence (in Chinese) so that I understand this structure better? I think I'm bothered by the 与 as used here, probably. Many thank in advance, HK Quote
skylee Posted September 25, 2004 at 01:54 PM Report Posted September 25, 2004 at 01:54 PM 只要你真心以愛回應我 ... Sometimes to match the melody, some lyrics are not 100% grammatically correct. Quote

From your reply, I also take it that there's something not 100% grammatical/usual in the original? If this is so, my question has been answered. Regards, HK Quote
