Oh, and on a matter of vocabulary... Legolas Send a noteboard - 06/04/2011 09:47:35 PM
Castelot uses the word "aussi" in very strange ways. I just checked the French Wiktionary, which does indeed have the following definition:


"4) C’est pourquoi, à cause de cela.

Ces étoffes sont belles, aussi coûtent-elles cher."


I must say I don't think I'd ever encountered that use of "aussi" before - at first I thought it was a freak misspelling for "ainsi", though that didn't really entirely fit either, it was only when it appeared again and again that I figured it had to be some outdated meaning. So just how outdated is that?

Would you say it is still worth reading it? Camilla - 05/04/2011 10:32:23 PM 215 Views
It depends on your background knowledge and/or willingness to look stuff up. Legolas - 05/04/2011 10:51:46 PM 198 Views

I don't see why biographies are more difficult to review than history books generally. Tom - 06/04/2011 03:30:37 PM 288 Views
