is the "too" unnecessary in this quote?

>>8533100
Semantically yes, but removing it changes the rhythm significantly.

>>8533100
It gives a better sense of reciprocation. He is arguably being positive about those few times when she did love him.
Anyway...
>translation

>>8533100
no. Implying that you loved someone doesnt mean they loved you as well.

>>8533110
This. Removing the "too" takes away the sense of her love being a response. I personally don't think there's any translation issue here though, because it's already based on the "I love you" -> "I love you too" response which is idiomatic in English-speaking culture.

loved me back

>>8533117
Oh, okay. I'm just being dumb.

>>8533190
No you're just being a memer trying to fit into boats culture.
>foreign author quote in English

>I must call OP out
Guess what you memer, if you learn another language and read a book in that language, YOU ARE TRANSLATING WHAT YOU ARE READING INTO YOUR NATIVE LANGUAGE

>>8533327
No, I was just defending myself from attack. In case what I said made no sense in translation. I admit I should have just done the research.

I don't know who that is but I like the quote.

>>8534381
Or how to reverse image search, apparently.

>>8534428
I know how to do that. I just didn't. And I didn't ask someone to tell me.

Still liked the quote.

>>8533100

well technically "i love you too" is incorrect in that when you tell someone you love them, they should actually say "i love you back"

>>8533100
I personally don't see a problem with the quote. In spanish the poem follows a metric so that's why you might find the translation clumsy.

>>8533100
>i love her, albeit she loved me too

>>8533327
>Guess what you memer, if you learn another language and read a book in that language, YOU ARE TRANSLATING WHAT YOU ARE READING INTO YOUR NATIVE LANGUAGE

Besides specific words, i haven't exeprienced this

kys

>>8535776

you are right

when someone learns a new language, they read in that new language, they dont translate to their native language.

sometimes I read an article on the internet, and a few days later I have problems finding it again because I dont remember in which language I read it.

>>8533100
is that comma bothering someone else?

>>8535864
It is now.

>>8534689
no

>>8533100
>"Yo la quise, y a veces ella también me quiso."

horrid translation, OP.

>>8533327
> YOU ARE TRANSLATING WHAT YOU ARE READING INTO YOUR NATIVE LANGUAGE

Absolutely not you fucking moron. Well done, you've triggered me.

How can one be so wrong?

>>8533327
>YOU ARE TRANSLATING WHAT YOU ARE READING INTO YOUR NATIVE LANGUAGE
That's not true, you stupid gringo.

Neruda isn't necessary

t. Mexican Pynchon

There was some pop, or rnb, or disco song. I dont remember, having some Neruda poem as the lyric (in english). Does anyone knows what song it is?

>>8537790
There are probably dozens you little shit eater.

>>8537803
but this was a classic song. Female vocals btw.

>>8535808
rude, albeit understandable
