anonymoose Posted November 5, 2008 at 03:22 PM Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 at 03:22 PM I found this sentence on a website, and was surprised by the position of 你 in the last phrase. 见到你之前，我在中信广场门口兜了两圈，终于被我看到你了 Is this sentence correct?

emma陶藝心 Posted November 5, 2008 at 03:51 PM Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 at 03:51 PM It's wrong,sort of. the reason is that this sentense mix the subject up.The correct sentense should be:"见到你之前，我在中信广场门口兜了两圈，终于看到你了。":) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skylee Posted November 5, 2008 at 04:14 PM Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 at 04:14 PM In Cantonese we have this word 畀 (bei) which can take the place of 被 in the sentence of #1. Maybe the writer is Cantonese who was not very careful with his subjects/objects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanlink Posted November 6, 2008 at 03:22 AM Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 at 03:22 AM But even in Cantonese, it would be a bit sloppy to end the sentence with 你, although it does happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
