nipponman Posted April 12, 2005 at 11:53 AM Report Share Posted April 12, 2005 at 11:53 AM Hey, this construction kinda confuses me, I'm not sure about what you do when the verb that follows has an object, could some one help me, please?

skylee Posted April 12, 2005 at 12:31 PM Report Share Posted April 12, 2005 at 12:31 PM Could you give us some examples of what confuses you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nipponman Posted April 12, 2005 at 08:57 PM Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2005 at 08:57 PM alright, for example, 連飯都做. I don't understand why the object has to appear right in the middle in this construction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quest Posted April 13, 2005 at 12:24 AM Report Share Posted April 13, 2005 at 12:24 AM It's just another SOV construction that emphasizes the object. I would translate such sentences with the word "even". 他连电脑都会用。He even knows how to use the computer. 他连尿都喝。 He even drinks urine. 他连老师都不怕。He's not even afraid of the teachers.
