to have a large share in/of sth.

[Anachronist]

Hallo,

heisst es "to have a large share of sth." oder "to have a large share in sth." oder ist beides richtig? (Bedeutung: einen Großen Anteil an etwas haben.)

Danke

quotation: heisst es "to have a large share of sth." oder "to have a large share in sth." oder ist beides richtig?

Ich kenn nur to have a share in sth. (hat mehrere Bedeutungen, weiß nicht ob ich alle hab *stöberimGedächtnis * einen Beitrag zu etwas leisten, etw. mit beeinflussen und ... irgendwie zu etw. beitragen müsste so stimmen )
Geht ungefähr in die Richtung...

"i have a large share of s.th." is correct. "i have a large share in s.th." would still get the point across, but it sounds strange to english ears.

[maedko]

what is your problem, I HAVE ENGLISH EARS. and since i do, i KNOW that it sounds wierd the other way. y do you keep critizing all my posts? get a life

[maedko]

actually i never thought of the that way. i guess it does sound right when u word it like that.

and my spelling? im not trying to be perfect, as long as i get the point across, ive done my job. this isnt a spellin test, so dont tell me to treat it as such.

[maedko]

there u go again.

fine, if u really couldnt still understand it:

"i never really thought of it that way."

god, seriously, giv it up
