A 跟 B 一样: the same as
A 跟 B 一样 = A is the same as B; add an adjective for “as … as”: 他跟我一样高.
Structure
- A + 跟 + B + 一样 (+ adjective)
- A + 跟 + B + 不一样
How it works
A 跟 B 一样 says two things are the same: 我的手机跟你的一样.
Add an adjective to say they are equal in one way: 他跟我一样高 = he is as tall as me.
The negative is 不一样: 我的想法跟你的不一样. 和 can be used instead of 跟.
