2010.03.22 -- i do not care

(Original works,
Copyright © Fan from http://fan-dasschiff.blogspot.com/ )

我(wǒ)无
(wú)(suǒ)谓(wèi) = “I do not care” or "it does not matter."
  • 我(wǒ)= I
  • 无(wú) : it has quite a lot meanings in different cases, the following are the main point
  1. As a verb: do not have = 没(méi)有(yǒu), 
     but now 无(wú) is specially used in some old phrases and idioms, not use alone as a verb any more. For example, we will never say : 我(wǒ)无(wú)苹(píng)果(guǒ) but 我(wǒ) 没(méi)有(yǒu)苹 (píng)果(guǒ) (i do not have apples.)
  1. As adverb:  = not to express the negation of  a verb or a adjective.
  2. As pronoun:= nothing, could describe persons, things and time.
  • 所(suǒ)谓 (wèi) could be translated to “so called”, like 所(suǒ)谓 (wèi)友(yǒu)谊(yì),是(shì)***(= what is so called friendship is ***)
