Hey Mr. Benny sir,
I would like to know how to say “to treat or be to somebody”.
My examples are: he treats them badly.
She is treated with the up most respect.
Why are you so mean to him?
They are loyal to him.
We aren’t very nice to him.
Xie xie Benny sir and hello everyone this is my first time here and I love!!

“To treat or be to somebody" means “dui4 (dai4)”. Sb+ "dui"+ sb +adv.
He treats them badly=ta dui ta men bu hao.
They are loyal to him= ta dui ta hen zhong cheng.
We aren’t very nice to him= wo men dui ta bu hao. | |

Welcome to Bennysland.
Jenny has given you a very good answer. Just to make it clear that in Chinese “treat = duì dài”
And “be to… = duì….+adjective”
If you have any other questions, just let me know
Benny
