what's the difference between "on" and "about" here?Thanks
Do you have any ideas ON a gift?
Do you have any ideas ABOUT a gift?

What's the difference between on and between here? I usually see people use 'on" instead of "about" to express about meaning. Is there any difference?

Answer

I don't think either is necessarily wrong, even though "Do you have ideas about a gift?" sounds a bit odd to me.

There is no difference, though. There are many ways to express that, for example:

"Do you have any ideas concerning the gift for person X?"
"Do you have any ideas regarding the gift for person X?"

It is synonymous.

Answer

在一些固定短语中，on有时可以替换about，谈们并非没有区别。：）

Answer

既然你很懂汉语，那我就用汉语给你解答。on，意味“在……之上”，而about，意味“关于”，这是两者最基本的区别了。我是一个中国人，很高兴认识你！：）
