People would, I think, interpret that you mean that other people being homosexual poses you no problem (for example it wouldn't matter to you if a friend or relative were gay). I don't think they would think that you meant that you yourself would be (necessarily) quite ready to give it a go.daoxunchang said:

I have no problem with lesbianism - but I will never practice it!
I believe so. Then what about "I have no problem with German language"? This case is different, I should presume. Right?Yes, but that phrase sounds a bit odd to me. I think I would say "the German language". It could theoretically mean "I have no problem with other people speaking German around me". I suppose it is the context that makes it clear.daoxunchang said:
Right - it means that you have no problem communicating in German.daoxunchang said:
Ah, you are righttimpeac said:
. So you mean "have no problem with" here also means something similar to "to be able to accept or adapt to". Am I right to think so?timpeac said:
On second thoughts, I think this expression may indicate ability as well as acceptance. For example, "I have no problem with a bucket of wine (a little bit exaggerationtimpeac said:
)". I understand it as saying that "I can drink a bucket of wine at one time". Am I right?
