The...the...

How do you express the concept "the...the..." as in "the more, the
merrier" in your conlangs.  Senjecas does not have the definite
article, so I'm looking for some suggestions.

I know that Spanish uses "cuanto...tanto...."

What exactly is the etymology of the German "je...desto..."?

Thanks.
Charlie
