August 8, 2008 at 6:14 PMQuestion: Lili uses "zuo ni de nüpengyou (...)" to express something like "becoming your girlfriend (would be brilliant)". Could this construction be used to say something along the lines of "You being my teacher would be great?" (=I'd be very glad if you could teach me sth.) , if not, could you tell me the correct sentence?
