The same: A 跟 B 一样 + adjective

Explanation

To say two things are the same, use A 跟 B 一样: 我跟你一样 (I'm the same as you). Add an adjective to say in what way: 我家跟朋月家一样远 (my home is as far as Peng Yue's). For different, say 不一样. For the one at the top, put 最 before the adjective: 山明家最远 (Shan Ming's home is the farthest).

Examples

  • 我wǒ跟gēn你nǐ一yí样yàng.I'm the same as you.
  • 我wǒ家jiā跟gēn朋péng月yuè家jiā一yí样yàng远yuǎn.My home is as far as Peng Yue's.

不…, 也不…: neither one nor the other

Explanation

To say neither of two opposite adjectives fits, use 不…, 也不…: 不大, 也不小 (not big, and not small either). This means it's right in the middle. 也 goes before 不, so don't say 不也小.

Examples

  • 我wǒ家jiā不bú大dà, 也yě不bù小xiǎo.My home isn't big, and it isn't small either.
  • 学xué校xiào不bù远yuǎn, 也yě不bú近jìn.The school isn't far, and it isn't close either.
  • 今jīn天tiān不bù冷lěng, 也yě不bú热rè.Today isn't cold, and it isn't hot either.
