Please just confirm.

Hi folks,

can you please just confirm, whether my translations of the next sentences are correct? I'm dealing with the phrase "take someone for something". Here are my examples.




I didn't really take you for a fan art fan. (I didn't consider you to be a fan of art)

I didn't take you for a fan of Keanu Reeves movies. (I didn't consider you to be a fan of Keanu Reeves)


I didn't take you for a country music fan. ( I didn't consider you to be a country music fan )



Somehow I feels that this phrase can be used in the situations, where I want to express someones feelings to the specific thing. Is that true?

thank you.



Best wishes

JCD
