What is the meaning of “If

you hid me, i wouldn’t be so poor.”

What would you think of the saying, “If there were NO YOU”?

I don’t know your name but I would like to ask you who will bake the

The construction If not for X is an idiomatic phrase in English. If verb to be is left out in this construction, though if you restore the full form which should always be: If it

were not for you, I would be poor.

If it’s true to say the original version without it

was wrong, it would be impoverished.

What is the meaning of the sentence if there are no you, and the verb if there are not you? The construction There is X cannot be used with a pronoun in place of X under most circumstances.

One sentence that my example sentence said “If not for you, who do I cook this cake for?” Is this a totally different construction, and the one in your question is even more unique?
