<< review queue entry 56182 - submitted by 'richwarm' >> /do not/must not/ It's not "do not" as in "I do not like cats." Or "must not" as in "The government must now allow this to continue." K ~ (contraction of the prohibitive bùyào 不要) "don't...!" Chao & Yang ~ don't ...!; don't! Tuttle ~ "别 is a contraction of 不要 in an imperative sentence. It is only used colloquially." Editor: 1. the notion that 別 is a contraction of 不要 is an urban legend. 2. as long as we have an entry for 不要, it might even contain "don't want" |
