One of the many grammatical uses of 倒 is to use it as an adverb that means something is the opposite or on the contrary.
Structure
When using 倒 this way, link it together with a 得.When using this, usually the speaker has a rebuking tone. It's like saying "what you're saying is the opposite." In other words, something is not as said.
Subject + Verb + 得 + 倒 + Adjective
This grammar pattern is most commonly used with 说, sometimes with 想, and maybe every once in a while with 看.
Examples
- 你 说 得 倒 容易，你 做做 试试 啊！
- 不工作还有工资拿？你 想 得 倒 美！
- 这 次 考试，老师 说 得 倒 容易，但是 没 有 一 个 学生 得到 好 成绩。
