When to use 爱A不A for “Do It or Don’t, I Don’t Care”
Put 爱 in front of a verb, then repeat the same verb after 不: 爱去不去, 爱吃不吃, 爱信不信. Here 爱 does not mean “love”; it means “as you like.” The whole phrase says “go or don’t go, I don’t care,” and the speaker is done arguing.
你爱去不去，反正我明天一定要去。
Go or don’t, it’s up to you. I’m definitely going tomorrow anyway.
我已经提醒过他了，他爱听不听，我不管了。
I’ve already warned him. Whether he listens is up to him; I’m staying out of it.

흔한 실수
