not really...
let's say ''much'' is a whole, something complete
half as much is half of that complete part

So let 's say (in context to "Half as much"-Sylver) -if U will love me just a half as I love U it will be great?Something like that?
cause I ve chacked in english-polish dict (I am polish) and it says that
a) half as much again=more
b) half as much=less
Anyway sometimes it is really hard to get what she means.She still writes lyrics things in native language (I mean in belgian construction)

Like in this

I don’t care
I never liked you anyway
I don’t care
Don’t you hear me when I say
I don’t care
You’re a total waiste of time
And you’re never ever ever be mine -sorry but all chorus is about emancipation of women and being BITCH and in the end that sentence :roll: Should be And I never ever be yours..or sth like that.IMHO it doesn't suit at all

yeah, it means that he loves her even less as half as much as she loves him

i think your polish dictionary needs some rewriting :)
that is generally correct but not very precise, it's quite obvious that if you say half as something, it's is less than the whole something...

that is true, it should be And I'll never ever be yours but i'm not gonna judge Sylver for a grammar mistake or similar, i think it's quite obvious what she wants to say and in some other sence it could be taken as a correct thing to say, it's like ''the glass is half empty'' ''the glass is half full'' thing, understand?
whether she is his or he is hers, it doesn't matter

First it more lexical than grammar failures..
Second -wth my dict is everything grand 8)
Repeat-half as much again means more one-half
Got it?

i did say grammar OR similar :)
yeah i got it, i'm not the one who needed to understand it in the 1st place

half as much ''again'' - wth does again have anything to do with it
and half as much doesn't mean ''more'' one half, it DOES mean one half, that's what i already said
