Olá pessoal,
Queria saber se é possível usar ''put someone against someone else'' ou ''set someone against someone else'' para dizer ''colocar alguém contra alguém'' ?
Ex: She's been trying to put(set) you against me, don't you see that ?
Qual seria a melhor opção ?
Valeus

In the same tack of "pit X against Y" (as Breckenfeld pointed out) one could try to "play X against Y", or play one against the other.
There´s also the "turn other people against you" by some smear campaign (playing off friends against you.
Anyway, I like the short and descriptive "somebody poisoning someone against somebody else/you" plus the "...turning somebody against the other/you..." from Henry, because it´s concise and expressive. All other ways to express that are valid and good too.
