O que significa "as much as" ?
<<It's not a question about the bags as much as the marbles.>>
- Inglês (EUA)
- Inglês (RU)
"As much as" usually means the same amount. For example, "I have as much money as he has" means we both have the same amount of money.
In your example, "It's not a question about the bags as much as the marbles," "not ... as much as" means more. In other words - It's not really a question about the bags, that's not the important thing. The important thing, or the more important thing, what we're *really* talking about, is the marbles.
