013 - 爱A不A - Learn spoken Chinese

'爱A不A' means to let sb's behaviour or whatever happens go unchecked.

A usually is a verb, auxiliary verb or adjective. This pattern carries a tone of not caring or showing unsatisfaction.

examples:

爱来不来,我才不在乎呢!
---> I do care whether he is coming or not!

甲:他说他可能不能来帮你了。
乙:爱帮不帮,没他,我自己也能行!
--->
A: He said he might not come to help you.
B: Whatever! I can do it without him!
