隨便 + V (e.g. 隨便坐, 隨便看看)

[edit]

@Tooironic, Suzukaze-c, Mar vin kaiser, 沈澄心, Thedarkknightli, Nyarukoseijin, Frigoris, should this be an adverb or adjective (rather than a verb, as we have it now)? 现代汉语词典 has such constructions as examples only under the definition 不加限制;沒有明确的目的 (adjective). — justin(r)leung (t...) | c=› } 19:30, 7 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

Yes, I think that would be OK. But how would you define that in English? "As one pleases"? ---> Tooironic (talk) 23:31, 7 June 2020 (UTC)Reply
@Tooironic: That's how I would define it, but it seems like it could be a little broader, including things like "without any restraint or goal" or "at random". I'm not sure. — justin(r)leung (t...) | c=› } 23:35, 7 June 2020 (UTC)Reply
That makes sense. Perhaps put all of those possible translations on one line and we can go from there. Translations are always a work in progress. ---> Tooironic (talk) 00:06, 8 June 2020 (UTC)Reply
