Could some explain to me what's the purpose of 对? Seen it a few times. Every time i search the only meaning of dui is right so i am confuse

[NasuSamaruk0]

对 used here indicates how one emphasizes "towards" an object or target.

This character is in fact a preposition. See more here.

So in this case it is the idiomatic equivalent of "in" in the English. That is to say that "in" does not always translate into 对 or vice versa but in this specific case it does.

[Dono.1802]

对 here is a preposition which means "towards".

[keyongming]

对 originally wrote a full verb meaning 'to face toward'. In sentences like this, it is a Coverb whose core meaning is 'toward'. The Coverb 对 functions much like an English preposition. As with other languages I've studied, prepositions cover a variety of uses that don't match with similar prepositions in other languages, hence the variety of meanings mentioned in other posts.

It's also a preposition, like "at".

Is 感兴趣 and 兴趣 the same thing for the word interest?

[Dennisg503]

兴趣 is "interest" and 感 is "feel" so:

• 感兴趣 - to be interested
• 不感兴趣 - not be interested
• 没有兴趣 - not have interest

[dr.destinyksh]

我对历史没有兴趣。

[DebbieJust]

History does not interest me should also be accepted.

i really hate it when they give you "interest" and "interested" or something so similar. when i read it quick i always select the wrong one. obviously you have to pay attention and translate it right but i feel like they just do it to trick you.
