rtf Posted August 3, 2015 at 12:07 PM Report Posted August 3, 2015 at 12:07 PM Hi,guys! Please, what is the literal meaning of 对我来说 in 对我来说，这两个意思一样 - 'As for me, these two (words) have the same meaning'. I can`t see what function 来 carries here. Thanks a lot. Quote
curry Posted August 3, 2015 at 06:44 PM Report Posted August 3, 2015 at 06:44 PM 对……来说 is a common pattern in Chinese. 对xyz来说 means "from the point of view of xyz." So, "对我来说 / 對我來說" means "from my point of view." I would translate the sentence you've provided as "From my point of view, these two meanings are the same." Quote
