je...desto (The more..., the more...)

ఎంత...అంత ≈ je...desto, but Telugu keeps both verbs at the end

Telugu's ఎంత ('however much') opens the first clause and అంత ('that much') opens the second, closely mirroring je and desto — a genuinely parallel correlative pattern. But there's a real structural difference worth flagging: Telugu is strict SOV in every clause, so both verbs here — చదివితే in the first half and అర్థమవుతుంది in the second — sit at the very end of their own clause. German only pushes the je-clause's verb to the end (lerne, because that half is a genuine subordinate clause); the desto-half is an ordinary main clause, so its verb (verstehe) snaps back to position two instead of staying last. Build the Telugu sentence first — verb-final twice, no exceptions — then remember that only the je-side keeps that verb-final shape once you switch to German.
