Keywords
When using 对 (duì) as a preposition, it is used to indicate "to" or "towards" a object or target. As with all prepositions, some care should be taken when using this particle, as usage of 对 doesn't always totally "make sense" or correspond to English at all.
Contents
Basic Structure
The structure is basically:
对 + Object + Verb Phrase
Note that you shouldn't be plugging in just any old verb here. Certain verbs are often used with 对, and some even need 对 if you want to add an object (like 感兴趣, explained below).
Examples
Here are some examples:
- 他 对 我 笑。He laughs at me.
- 我 要 对 你 负责。I am going to be responsible for you.
- 她 对 我 很 客气。She was very polite to me.
- 你 为什么 对 我 有 意见 ？Why do you dislike me?
- 我 对 西安 不 熟悉。I am not familiar with Xi'an.
- 抽烟 对 健康 有害。Smoking is bad for your health.
对 is also used in two set structures: 对……来说 ("for... [a person]") and 对...感兴趣 ("to be interested in...").
对……来说
This essentially means "for... (a person)." It's for making a statement from a certain person's point of view.
The pattern is:
对 + Person + 来说
- 川菜 对 我 来说 太 辣 了。To me, Szechuan food is too spicy.
- 对 她 来说 英语 很 容易。She thinks English is easy.
- 对 我 来说 书法 很 有意思。I think calligraphy is very interesting.
对……感兴趣
In English was say "to be interested in something." In Chinese, the pattern is:
对 + Object + 感兴趣
- 我 对 书法 感 兴趣。I am interested in calligraphy.
- 谁 对 英语 很 感兴趣？Who is interested in English?
- 你 好像 对 她 不太 感兴趣。You don't seem very interested in her.
