While refreshing Russian Duolingo lessons way back in March, I got a sentence with the correlative "both... and...."
I'd been waiting to get an-other sentence with "both... and..." so I could also take a screen clipping of the little box that explains that "и... и..." is literally "and... and..." but that the first "and" is understood as "both." I finally got an-other Russian Duolingo sentence with this correlative to-day (while doing a new lesson: the second in the "Around you" skill):
I wanted to write about this just to note that this same correlative (with this same form!) is also in Latin. Like "и... и...," "et... et..." is literally "and... and...," but the first "and" is understood as "both."
