Zakaj se play around withuporablja in ne play with? Ali obstaja razlika med obema?
Odgovor maternega govorca

Play around [with x] je frazalni glagol z play. To pomeni, da ravnamo brezskrbno, nespametno ali neodgovorno. Pogosto se uporablja v priložnostnih situacijah! V tem prizoru lahko uporabimo tako play with firekot play around with fire. Enako velja v drugih kontekstih! Primer: Don't play around with a person's feelings. (Ne igrajte se s čustvi drugih.) Primer: I am very worried about my son. All he does is play around all day and never study. (Zelo me skrbi za mojega sina, igra ves dan in sploh ne študira.)
