As well as with 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:

  • 一样 高。
  • 他们 我们 一样 酷。
  • 小狗 小猫 一样 可爱。
