As well as with 比 and 没有, there is a third way to make basic comparisons: with 一样 (yīyàng).
Rather than expressing that two things differ regarding a particular quality, 一样 is used to express that two things are the same in some way.
Simple Form
The simple structure is to states that two things are equal is:
Subject + 跟 / 和 + Noun + 一样
Some examples:
- 我 跟 你 一样。
- 啤酒 和 葡萄酒 一样 吗？
- 美国 跟 英国 不 太 一样。
Specific Adjective Form
To add an adjective into the mix, just place it after 一样:
Noun 1 + 跟 + Noun 2 + 一样 + Adjective
This describes Noun 1 as being as adjective as Noun 2.
Some examples:
- 你 跟 我 一样 高。
- 他们 跟 我们 一样 酷。
- 小狗 跟 小猫 一样 可爱。
