right ,there.

if "I“ ask "你去北京多久了?" means : you're in Beijing while i'm not in beijing ( this explains why it's "去” instead of "来“)and "I" want to know how long have you been in Beijing .

你好。

我认为:“以为” 和“认为”的区别是,简单说,“以为”是不正确或不准确 的“认为”。

词典的例子:这部电影我以为很有教育意义。隐含未说的意思是“但是看完以后,我觉得没有教育意义”

所以说,词典对“以为”的解释欠妥。正好我在“北大中文论坛"(www.pkucn.com)看到有人讨论这个问题,你不妨看看:

in a word ,"以为”yi3 wei2   always mean "mistakingly think".

对,是话梅。(很有意思,为什么叫这个名字?)

never heard people call them 酸梅,咸梅.

the term" 酸梅“ does exist, but it's something else.like, people like to drink 酸梅汤 in summer。

对。

再比如说 “上楼,下楼”,and 楼上,楼下 mean so differently.(上飞机---飞机上)

上船--上床: really, be careful about that. 我知道有的学习者常常mixed them up in pronunciation
