YOU SAID:
I love my mother like I love my spaghetti.
INTO JAPANESE
私はスパゲッティを愛するように母を愛しています。
BACK INTO ENGLISH
I love my mother as much as I love spaghetti.
INTO JAPANESE
私はスパゲッティを愛するのと同じくらい母を愛しています。
BACK INTO ENGLISH
I love my mother as much as I love spaghetti.
That didn't even make that much sense in English.
