In English , can i say " I want to fly to you ! " . Is this a right sentence ? I mean :  from the earth to the space like if i were a flying bird This is for my next project and if i can say like that , this would be really very good for me ... because in fact most of my work is already done and i need the sentence be like that . Thanks to help me  !   Back to top

Scatterplot Group: Members Posts: 1980 Joined: Dec. 2007 Posted: Nov. 22 2009, 02:26 Works for me as a USA, very pompous multi-college-level english classes taken person. "I want to fly to you." Would be the same as "I want to come to you quickly". Your use of the word "fly" implies you want speed. To get to someone or something in little time. Your use of the word "want" could imply a romantic need. Say as in, traversing physical space to see a girl. It depends on the situation and/or need of your personal situation. But as-is, "I want to fly to you" simply means....."I wan't to get to you quickly". -------------- We raise our voices in the night Crying to heaven And will our voices be heard Or will they break Like the wind Back to top

Ok so i have to reveal what i really need to mean by " I want to fly to you ! This is about me and space ( not a girl ) and i just want to say " i want to go to a precise place into space by flying ( like ...sorry for that but maybe ... Superman or something like that ?!!? ... Sorry can't really explain .. it's an imagery !   Back to top
