gena0411 Posted November 11, 2017 at 04:22 PM Report Share Posted November 11, 2017 at 04:22 PM Hello, Could you please help with following sentence? 她刚到公司就听到几个女同事一直在说芳芳 I understand it as: ... several colleagues were talking about Fang Fang. I have doubt about this "about". What would be the sentence with the meaning: ... several colleagues were talking to Fang Fang. Thanks for your help Genady Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
陳德聰 Posted November 11, 2017 at 07:36 PM Report Share Posted November 11, 2017 at 07:36 PM "⋯一直對著芳芳說話" In theory your sentence could also mean that she heard the colleagues lecturing Fangfang about something but the meaning with 'about' works.

Christa Posted November 12, 2017 at 10:37 AM Report Share Posted November 12, 2017 at 10:37 AM Hi Gena, To change the sentence to instead give the meaning "several colleagues were talking to Fang Fang" you can alter it to: 她刚到公司就听到几个女同事一直在跟芳芳说话 That will give the meaning you want.
