opposite

[lupei]

Hi!

what is the preposition you use after "opposite"?

-I am opposite you
-I am opposite of you


Thanks a lot!

I would use no preposition.

-I am opposite you
-I am opposite of you

'I am opposite you' suggests location.

Perhaps:
'I am seated opposite you.'
-on opposites sides of a table, or across an auditorium on the opposite side.

'I am the opposite of you.'
-indicates polarized personality differences, or opposite opinions.

You like to stay awake late at night. I'm the opposite of you. I like to go to sleep early.
