What does "a medida" mean?

Question

"a medida que te voy conociendo, me doy cuenta de que tienes con él cosas en común"

I think it's saying "As I get to know you, I realize that you have things in common with him."

So does "a medida" mean "as?"

That's correct. - 00e657d4, Jul 20, 2010

Answer 1

" To the extent of how much im going to know you " is more exact.

A medida - To the extent

Answer 2

A medida que....means 'As'. Your translation is spot on!

You can use the verb IR plus the present participle in the context of things that go on. For example, '¡A medida que voy bebiendo cerveza, me hago más borracho! ie As I drink beer, (as I go on drinking beer) I become more drunk!
