跟⋯⋯一样
gēn …… yí yàng
Basic comparisons with "yiyang"
跟…一样 says two things are the same — optionally, the same in some respect.
Noun 1 + 跟 / 和 + Noun 2 + 一样 (+ Adj.)
How it works
你跟他一样高 — you're as tall as he is. Without an adjective, 一样 alone means "the same": 这两个一样.
和 substitutes for 跟 with no change in meaning.
The negative is 不一样, and "not as… as" is 没有: 我没有他高.
Examples
nǐ gēn tā yí yàng gāo

You're as tall as he is.
zhè liǎng jiàn yī fu yí yàng

wǒ de xiǎng fǎ gēn nǐ bù yí yàng
