| | Roland Parijs yahoo.com 2009-08-24 / 12:24AM | | Hello Lee Kong,
I think the whole sentence means:
xiàn zài zhēnde gāi shàng nǎ zhǎo qián qù
现在真的该上哪找钱 去
“Realy where do we look for(search 找) money(找钱 as one word means change!) from now.
ie Where do we look for money.
该上 is not one word actually but two, 上 being part of the structure 上哪 去 where …. go to.去denoting a direction away from the speaker.
Hope I have ilucidated your question …
Hope I am right Benny..
万事如意

| | Benny the Mandarin Teacher bennysland.com 2009-08-24 / 11:22AM | | Hi Roland,
This is a very professional answer to this structure.
Literally “该上 = should go…..”. The structure here is “上哪去….+ verb”.
