Consider the following

> 彼女は私ほど自分のことを好きじゃない。

My attempt is as follows

  * A: She does not love herself as much as I love myself.

  * B: She does not love herself as much as she loves me.

  * C: She does not love herself as much as I love her.

  * D: She does not love me as much as I love myself.

  * E: She does not love me as much as I love her.

Which is the correct translation?

question
grammar meaning
What does 彼女は私ほど自分のことを好きじゃない mean?
Seems like it can be interpreted in 2-3 ways, but the way I understood it
after my first read was.

> She doesn't love herself as much as I love her.

After reading the sentence like a 100 more times, I came to believe that by
reading between the lines a little.

> She does not love me as much as I love her.

Could also be quite possible. It also seems like the most probable thing you
might wanna say to someone.(comparing how much one loves oneself is kinda
weird no?).

Either way, they all feel somewhat possible to some degree. Just a little
context could change everything. Not sure where you got that sentence though.

answer
Sentences A-D are all possible interpretations, but practically it's either A
or C. Without any context, I personally feel the likelihood is as follows: `A
> C >> B ≒ D >> E ≒ 0`

I feel E is nearly impossible because 自分 is referring to different two people
which are not "herself" nor "myself".

Let me correct your sentence first, it should have been" 彼女は私ほど自分のこと **が**
好きじゃない。". "好き”is an adjective in japanese ,so you have to use" **が** before
it. my answers are A and B, it can be understood in both ways
