Using "dui" with verbs

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 对 is much different from when it is used as a verb, indicating that something is correct.

Here are some examples:

• 他 对 我 笑。
• 我 要 对 你 负责。
• 她 对 我 很 客气。
• 你 为什么 对 我 有 意见 ？
• 我 对 西安 不 熟悉
• 抽烟 对 健康 有害

对 is also used in two handy set structures: 对我来说 and 对...感兴趣 (to be interested in something

• 我 对 书法 感 兴趣
• 对我来说 川菜 太 辣 了
• 对我来说

• "For…" with "eryan"
