Usage notes

Often coupled with ut

1. Such that "ita x, ut y" = "so/thus x, as y"

   Non ita loquimur, ut physicī.

   We do not say so/thus, as the physicists do.

However, if one finds the reverse with ut preceding ita, the meaning is different.

1. "ut x, ita y" = "as x, so y"; "just as x, so too y"
2. alternatively, "ut x, ita y" = "although x, yet y"

The terms ita and ut together ("ita ut") can be translated as "just as".
