manner or act

[navi tasan]

1-I didn't talk to him as you did.

Can this sentence (without a comma) mean:
1a-I didn't talk to him but you did.
The 'normal' meaning as far as I know is: 1b-I didn't talk to him in the same manner as you did.

2-I wasn't kind as you were.

Can this sentence (without a comma) mean:
2a-I wasn't kind but you were.
The 'normal' meaning being: I wasn't kind in the same way (to the same extent) as you were.

Hello Navi

I'd agree that such sentences are ambiguous; and using the comma helps to distinguish between the possible meanings.

(I would say that "as" in your "comma" versions functions as a pronoun, and = "which".)

See you,
