"Anata hodo"

Does anyone know what does "Anata hodo" means? Arigato!

well, literally that phrase alone is "as you". To english, it basically can mean "as much as you" or something similar. The full phrase for the audio lesson is "anata hodo ja nai desu" if I remember correctly. Anata = you hodo = as ja nai desu = not (ja nai is negative of desu) The context was talking about the speaker being good at japanese, so basically you're saying "not as good as you" you could use the phrase for other things like: Me wa kire desu (your eyes are beautiful!) Anata hodo ja nai desu (not as beautiful as yours!) hope that helps.

In Rocket Japanese Platinum they have a full lesson on hodo and yori... Basically its like A hodo B ____ desu A > B So, A is ____er than B. and yori is the opposite... if you want more details I'd suggets you get RJ Platinum when it comes out on July 6th.

Well that makes a little more sense than my post... and congrats on the platinum BTW

They liked how helpful I was when the new user interface was made so they're php developer is like "Wanna beta test" I"m like sure... do I need to sign any NDA or like that then "No, just enjoy"... Basically all I've been doing is reading through the grammar lessons catching small mistakes here and there... I've got to finish these last 5 lessons for them for me to feel as if I've done my job.

Konnichiwa! Yes, the particle *HODO* is used when making comparisons. Just as Derek-san has stated, when we have two conditions A and B, and want to express the A is "bigger" "greater" "better" etc, than B, we use *HODO*. It adds the _*"~ER"*_ in English. -Sayaka
