跟…一样
HSK 2- Comparison
Structure (结构 jiégòu)
Meaning (意思 yìsi)
The structure 跟…一样 is used to compare the similarity between two objects, meaning 'the same as'.
Explanation (解释 jiěshì)
Use the structure A 跟 B 一样 to express that A and B are the same. 跟 (gēn) means "with," and 一样 (yíyàng) means "the same."
