kavanin Posted December 6, 2015 at 01:12 PM Report Share Posted December 6, 2015 at 01:12 PM 我这头发就交给你了，你就放心地剪吧，剪什么样是什么样，我都这把年纪了，有什么好看不好看的。 If we add 没 to the last part of this sentence "没有什么好看不好看的", does it still make sense? Does the meaning change? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lips Posted December 6, 2015 at 02:10 PM Report Share Posted December 6, 2015 at 02:10 PM I would add 没. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anonymoose Posted December 6, 2015 at 02:10 PM Report Share Posted December 6, 2015 at 02:10 PM Well, yes and no. The overall implication would be the same, but as it is, it is actually in the form of a question. By adding 没, it becomes a statement. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lips Posted December 6, 2015 at 02:29 PM Report Share Posted December 6, 2015 at 02:29 PM Exactly. The original has 。at the end so it's a statement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New Members Maple_Tian Posted December 7, 2015 at 02:17 AM New Members Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 at 02:17 AM In this sentence, 没有什么好看不好看的 is the implication of 有什么好看不好看的, i.e., you are convey the meaning of 没有什么好看不好看的 in an indirect way； If you add 没, you are no longer making 没什么好看不好看的 as an implication; instead, you are stating what you want to convey (i.e., 没什么好看不好看的) directly.

New Members nova90 Posted December 11, 2015 at 06:22 AM New Members Report Share Posted December 11, 2015 at 06:22 AM This structure is a rhetorical question, which seems to be asking but actually express sure(In the context, it means 没有什么好看不好看的). Sometimes we do not use ? when the answer is clear. If you add "没", it becomes a simple statement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
