Hello to all language lovers, Is there a saying that can be used as the opposite to "burning bridges"? Can I say "building bridges" or is that rather meant to establish a relationship between two cultures and not people? E.g. "I rather build bridges than burn them." Does that sound correct to you?

"I'd rather build bridges than burn them." sounds good - notice the contraction of 'would ' added there. other related collocations are: to mend bridges (if relations are damaged) Form ties / bonds - new relations to reach out to (people/companies)

Can I say "building bridges"? Yes... (This works for a relationship between two cultures or people) "I'd rather build bridges than burn them." - Does that sound correct to you? Yes... sounds good 👍
