Negative and positive
dear all,
i'm Taiwanese, and the mandarin language is one of my mother languages.
my people love to say that the mandarin language is an ambiguous language,
which leaves a lot of room for word playing,
and therefore, i would like to know about other languages, such as English.
what do you English native speakers feel about the following?
"i don't agree" doesn't necessarily mean "i object".
thanks.
