Basic comparisons with "yiyang"
As well as with 比 and 没有, there is a third way to make basic comparisons: with 一样 (yīyàng).
一样 is different to 比 and 没有. Rather than expressing that two things differ regarding a particular quality, 一样 is used to express that two things are equal in some way. The structure is:
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。
