website Posted September 30, 2004 at 08:41 PM Report Share Posted September 30, 2004 at 08:41 PM I hope someone can help me with prepositions in Putonghua, especially to, for, and from. For example, how would one say the following? This part is from the bike. This is for you. Gei ni zhege??? It stretches from Mexico to Romania. It's up to you. I can't get to him. Wo bu neng dao ta??? He was nice to other visitors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roddy Posted November 20, 2008 at 03:23 PM Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 at 03:23 PM This went unanswered four years ago, not sure why it was bumped. Don't expect the OP to turn up and say thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
