Should it really be linked to #5298868?

Joseph Joseph August 13, 2021 August 13, 2021 at 2:54:46 AM UTC link Permalink

Yes, I believe so.

What do you think, Alan?

The meanings of the two sentences are equivalent, but Tatoeba doesn't encourage linking sentences within the same language. I see that CK has already unlinked them.

Thanks.

Actually, the two sentences are not quite equivalent.

However, they could possibly be linked to the same sentence in another language, though perhaps not all languages.

Agreed. They're not quite equivalent.

"I only used it twice." can mean: using it twice was all I did, i.e. I didn't do anything else at all (not limited only to the activity of 'using it').

"I've only used this two times" limits the activity to the thing in question ("it"/"this").

By "equivalent", I meant that they can both mean the same thing, not that their ranges of meaning are identical.
