What exactly is the differnce between desto und umso?
I understand, that they just replace a wenn/dann construction. But is umso the same thing as desto? -Je besser man isst, umso wird man gesunder.- Deesto could have been placed here too? Thanks all. Edited by LebensForm on 20 October 2012 at 1:48pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I think they're pretty much interchangeable, but they use a different word order from a dann clause.
Je besser man isst, desto/umso gesünder wird man. To me, umso sounds like normal spoken language and desto sounds like written register or sayings/aphorisms. ETA Zwiebelfisch on je/desto/umso Edited by Bao on 20 October 2012 at 4:30pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |

On this article:
http://de.wiktionary.org/wiki/umso It lists "desto" under synonyms. EDIT: Listen to the German above instead. Edited by stifa on 20 October 2012 at 3:23pm 1 person has voted this message useful |
