Context:
I don't respond here for purpose to marry or to be married, but for making friend.
Through yourself introduction, I know that reading is your cup of tea, and so is mine. Besides, knowing English is one of your favorites also inspires me to write you this.
I, 175 cm tall, 70 kilogram weight, handsome, with age as you demand, with preference as yours: I prefer being plump to being thin.
@oristarA,
I'm not sure if you're looking for style suggestions, or only for grammatical errors, but here goes:
"I don't respond here for purpose to marry or to be married, but for making friend."
Suggestion: "I'm not here for the purpose of finding a spouse, but for making friends."
@DrewDad,
Thanks.
Any suggestions, including that of style, will be appreciated.
@fresco,
Much better. Thank you.
Only the use of word favorite has confused me. For example: These novels are my favourites. I don't understand why not just use favorites, but rather favorite subjects.
@oristarA,
The
noun "favorite" without further context generally means "favorite person" as in the sentence: "Thomas Moore was one of Henry's favorites".
Its use as an
adjective would require a noun except where that noun is implied by context such as in: "I opened the chocolate box and took one of my favorites". In this case the
noun phrase (Adj +N)"favorite chocolates" has been shortened such that the adjective represents the whole phrase.
