use of 连。。。都
In the sentence 他连我都不认识 the emphasis is on "me", not on "know"
I would like to emphasize a verb.
For example: a woman is 8 months pregnant and would like to wear a new, tight dress for a party. Her friends say: how can she fit into that dress, she hasn't even given birth to her baby, yet!
How would you say in Chinese "she hasn't even given birth to her baby, yet!" 他还没连生下都她的孩子！
Another example: my computer has broken down, and my boyfriend, who doesn't know anything about computers, would like to repair it. I tell him "how could you repair the computer?!? You can't even switch it on!
How would you say "You can't even swith it on!" 你不会连打开都它！
Thank you!

"连。。也。。”or “连。。。都。。。”has a compare in the sentence——compare things or people or action after 连，emphasis.
for example, compare people:“连我都知道”，compare “I ”and “someone”，even I know，so you （or other people）should know. "连我都不知道”means I don't know，so you（or he she） don't know.
compare things: 他连这个都吃，compare this thing and other things，he even can eat this，other things he must can eat.
verb need to repeat：for example，他连想都没想=他没有想；他连说都没说=他没有说。

Ha ha, your question is a good question.
连。。。都。。。
１）she hasn't even given birth to her baby, yet!
她连小孩都还没生下来。
２）You can't even swith it on!
你连打开电脑都不会。
注意：“连”后面是你要强调的内容，否定词都是在“都”后面使用。
you want to emphasize content is behind the "连", negative words are behind the "都".

How would you say in Chinese "she hasn't even given birth to her baby, yet!" 他还没连生下都她的孩子！
举个例子：一位怀胎8月的母亲想要穿着紧身连衣裙参加聚会。 她的朋友说：她怎么能穿那件连衣裙呢，她连孩子都没有生呢。
Another example: my computer has broken down, and my boyfriend, who doesn't know anything about computers, would like to repair it. I tell him "how could you repair the computer?!? You can't even switch it on!

我的电脑坏了，并且我的男朋友对电脑一无所知，却想修电脑，我告诉他：你连开机都不会，怎么修啊？
