fij Posted January 4, 2011 at 07:21 AM Report Posted January 4, 2011 at 07:21 AM Hi, Could someone please help with the following? What is the difference between 不要 and 不要对? Is the 2nd version stronger? Thanks a lot! Quote

jessiejin Posted January 4, 2011 at 09:59 AM Report Posted January 4, 2011 at 09:59 AM ??what do you mean. i just guess.for example: 不要这样VS不要对他这样？ Quote
chaiknees Posted January 4, 2011 at 11:40 AM Report Posted January 4, 2011 at 11:40 AM I don't think that's what he wants to know. Compared to the first sentence, the 对他-example just has an object inserted. Quote
xiaocai Posted January 4, 2011 at 11:49 AM Report Posted January 4, 2011 at 11:49 AM As much as everyone here is willing to help you, I think a little bit more context would be helpful. As you can see so far all of us just have been guessing what exactly your question means and have not been able to figure it out... 1 Quote
fij Posted January 5, 2011 at 05:21 AM Author Report Posted January 5, 2011 at 05:21 AM Sorry. You may have realized that I am a newbie who failed to understand the significance of context. This is the example: 一定不要对一个人进行侮辱 Thanks Quote
chaiknees Posted January 5, 2011 at 05:50 AM Report Posted January 5, 2011 at 05:50 AM I think now it's quite clear. The 对 does not belong to the 不要, 对一个人 belongs together ("towards a person"). It's a normal use of the modal verb 不要 ("must not"). Quote
Glenn Posted January 5, 2011 at 05:51 AM Report Posted January 5, 2011 at 05:51 AM 对 goes with 一个人, not 不要. [Edit] Well, shucks. I got beat in speed and quality. Quote
