Questions & Answers about Quiero editar tanto el episodio uno como el dos.
How does tanto... como... translate to "both... and..." here?
While tanto usually means "so much" and como means "like" or "as," when you pair them up as tanto [A] como [B], they form a fixed expression meaning "both [A] and [B]". In this sentence, it emphasizes that you want to edit the first episode just as much as the second one.
If I were talking about a feminine noun, like la temporada (the season), would tanto change to tanta?
No. When used together as a conjunction pair (tanto... como...), tanto does not change to match the gender or number of the nouns. You would still say: Quiero editar tanto la temporada uno como la dos.
Why is there an el before dos? Can I just say "como dos" like in English?
Why does the sentence use episodio uno instead of primer episodio?
