Aimez-vous les fleurs bleues autant que moi? // Do you like blue flowers as much as i do? |
So here is the cat admiring his new hydrangea plant. This one must have been growing in acidic soil to be as blue as this.
"Autant" is a new word for me. It means "(as) much" and looks suspiciously similar to Spanish "tanto". People native in Romance languages are so lucky.
By the way, I used to be quite annoyed by the lack of distinction between "голубой" and "синий" in English. Using "ultramarine" for "синий" seems very artificial - it is too long a word for something so simple, while "azure" is too poetic for something as basic as "голубой". And another btw - I don't get what something as sombre as "indigo" is doing in the rainbow at all. It might well be imprinting, but Russian rainbow seems more logical to me.
