According to google (search, not translation) I found it means "you're nobody". Maybe even "you're
nothing".

I think this explanation is closer ->

Thank you both for replying. I'm near there but not quite yet: I'm a bit unsure of the negative in
the sentence. Do the 2 sentences mean the same thing:

“你真不是个东西！” =
“你真是个东西！” =
"You're an asshole!"

??

yes.but the latter is not often used.










rootfool -

These sentences also mean the same:
北京队大胜上海队=北京队大败上海队
她这么可爱，我好喜欢。=她这么可爱，我好不喜欢
我差点儿被他气死。=我差点儿没被他气死。

Thanks rootfool, very helpful!

rootfool, are those usages standard? I don't mean 'are they used?', I mean "are they correct?".
Would the academic would consider both to be correct?










skylee -

They are correct, and very common. Such examples / patterns have been mentioned / discussed many
times before. Take a look at these threads ->

到 means 'to arrive' and a lot of other things, mostly derived from this meaning.
我到北京去 I'm going to Beijing.
這個字好難,我一直學不到 This character is so difficult, I can't get it into my head ('I
study but do not arrive at studying successfully')

In '我告訴到', 到 has nothing to do with 告訴, the transitive verb doesn't form like that.

I hope this helps!










chinlearner83 -

Skylee, thanks for the threads; nevertheless, I still don't see anything referring to whether
they're correct I agree that they exist and make sense as such. I don't believe that they're not
correct, just that I'm curious as to how an authority views this.

Oh I didn't know that you wanted an authority to prove that the usage is correct. Well obviously I
am not an authority. And it was rootfool that you asked. I should have kept my mouth shut.
