Keywords
Along with 比 (bǐ) and 没有 (méiyǒu), 一样 (yīyàng) is another way to make basic comparisons. However, 一样 (yīyàng) is used to express that two things are the same in some way.
Contents
Basic Usage
Structure
This simple structure is used for stating that two things are the same:
Noun 1 + 跟 / 和 + Noun 2 + 一样
Examples
- 我 和 你 一样 。I am the same as you.
- 他 的 性格 跟 他 妈妈 一样 。He has the same personality as his mom.
- 北京 的 天气 和 上海 不 一样 。The weather in Beijing and the weather in Shanghai are not alike.
- 这 个 词 的 意思 和 那 个 词 一样 吗 ？Are the meanings of this word and that word the same?
- 美国 文化 跟 中国 文化 不 一样 。American culture and Chinese culture are not the same.
一样 (yīyàng) with Adjectives
Structure
To add an adjective into the mix, just place it after 一样 (yīyàng):
Noun 1 + 跟 / 和 + Noun 2 + 一样 + Adj.
This describes Noun 1 as being as adjective as Noun 2.
Examples
- 你家 跟 我家 一样 大。 Your house is just as big as mine.
- 她 和 她 哥哥 一样 高。 She and her older brother are equally tall.
- 你 的 头发 和 我的 头发 一样 长。You hair is as long as mine.
- 这里 的 天气跟 我 老家 一样 舒服。The weather here is just as comfortable as my hometown's.
- 你 跟 老板 一样 忙 吗？Are you as busy as the boss is?
There is also a similar but more advanced usage of this pattern that uses 像 (xiàng).
