How do you compare one thing to another in german? Is there a comparative "like" in german? Hallo! I'm sorry if this is a broad question, and also that I'm asking it in English, but I don't think I'm at a level where I could get it across otherwise. Basically, how do you compare things without adjectives in german? I have found plenty of things on how to say, for example "X is smaller than Y." - "X ist kleiner als Y."... But I wanted to know how to say things like "X is like Y.", or "To say something like" to use this very phrase as an example). I can't seem to find that anywhere! Vielen Danke für die Hilfe. :)
