Hi, ayala:

In most circumstances, we call it as 'fell in love' , as for 'dating' , in Chinese, it substancially means have a date with someone.

For the '谈朋友', it's almost the same as '谈恋爱', but we don't normally use it too much, it is collateral way and not so directly as '谈恋爱'.

so, if 谈恋爱 means "fell in love", what is the difference between 谈恋爱 and 爱上了(她/他)?

i though that 爱上 means "to fall in love" (with someone) and 谈恋爱 means that two people are actually having a romantic relationship.

am i wrong again?...

many thanks,

Aayla.

Hi, Aya:

Normally, when we use谈恋爱, we are saying that ‘A fell in love with B’, which means A loves B, and B also loves A. Such as, Ayala is 谈恋爱ing with Jennifer Lopez, it mean Ayala and Jennifer Lopez were boyfriend and girlfriend.

However, ‘爱上了’ is just a very basic and general mean of ‘love’ or ‘like’, for example, I say I爱上了 Ayala,‘ that means I like or I fall in love with Ayala, however, I am absolutely not sure whether Ayala also loves me or not….alternatively, we can also say ‘after watching the Gone with the wind, I 爱上了Scarlett’, obviously, it’s just a kidding.

So, ‘谈恋爱’ means a love of mutually, certainly and a matter-of-fact, but ‘爱上了’…more or less, just as ‘ I like…..’, without any results and consequences.

Hope it helps.
