hi xue'er, "it takes two to tango" which also means "it takes two to cooperate" suggests that you can not perform a task without a partner or someone who can be paired with you to hit your goal (yet occasionally with negative connotations). also, the meaning of this expression has been extended to include any situation in which the two partners are by definition understood to be essential -- as in, a marriage with only one partner ceases to be a marriage. an obvious example would be having a baby... you know that it really takes two to tango in order to have what you've been wishing for... :)

It means that both sides are to blame in a fight or argument. The phrase is comparing the fighting to the Argentine Tango. It probably also hints that the argument is entertaining to watch. ;)

Hello xue'er, Tango,that South American ballroom dance is that sort of dance that requires 2 persons to be performed. The saying refers to any activity that can't be carried out without the existence of 2 persons. It is a verbal reaction in situations,where one person claims to be able to accomplish something,that can't be demonstrated or carried out by one individual and requires the assistance of one other person specifically. The other person will use this saying as a reminder to the impossibility of performing this action solo. It covers a wide range of activities,in fact any kind that requires 2 persons to be performed. Example: - Why don't you go and do your favorite sport? - I love to play tennis,but can't find a company. I can't play tennis all by myself. It takes two to tango. It could also mean, if two people were involved in a bad situation, both must be responsible. "She blames Anna for stealing her husband. Well, it takes two to tango." It means the wife is responsible as well for this bad situation.

It means that two people are required in order to do something, or two things have to be in place at the same time to make something take place. It's sometimes employed when something has occurred that one person is unhappy about, and the other one is pointing that the first participated as well, or it wouldn't have happened. "He blames her for the unwanted pregnancy, conveniently forgetting that it takes two to tango."

It means not one person should be blamed for argument or fault.
