Okay I’ve seen some nice and understandable examples of how to use 「のように」 as “as.”
e.g.
絵のように美しい。= As pretty as a picture.彼女は教師のように見える。= She looks like a teacher.
But I can’t really find out how to say the following sentence.
“She likes the same things as me.”
How do I say that?彼女は私と同じものが好きです
Don’t get confused by the fact that English uses the same word – it’s got about a thousand different meanings. Other words have similar problems.
I see thank you.
Can I make you say something general about that sentence structure, or maybe just give me a link to an explanation. Just so I can make sure I get it correctly. I know it is a much to ask for, so it’s okay if you don’t wanna explain it. I tried searching around but couldn’t really find it.Xと同じ = “the same as X” – there’s not much more general I can be than that, because it’s a fairly specific application. The particle と indicates that it’s reciprocal – she likes the things you do, and you like the things she does. If you wanted to say that it’s not reciprocal (though I couldn’t think of any examples for 同じ that wouldn’t be) you’d use に instead. There’s also と同じぐらい which means “about the same as”. こういちさんの日本語能力は私と同じぐらい – “Kouchi’s Japanese ability is about the same as mine”.
Similarly,
Xと違う = “different from X”Thank you that’s a very nice explanation.
