peer agreement (net): +1intensifying meaning Explanation: 'azh' can hardly be translated as a single word. It is used in the same intensifying meaning as 'very' in English in a phrase like that: to the very skies (aж до неба). A few more examples to illustrate it: aж три рази - as nany as three times aж до Київа - as far as Kyiv etc. HTH Oleg |
