•You talk like your tongues on fire •He eats chinese food just like me Ooops, meant to say "say" not see. should've double checked that |

Yes, thanks
*if instead of "igual que yo" I would have written "igualito a mi", I think that I would have representated better the "just" stuff, because in my examples I ignored it. But this is not in the "like" stuff anymore :P

Like I was saying, I mean, seeing... or viceversa. Además de todas las respuestas anteriores... Como iba diciendo, o sea, iba viendo... o viceversa. or, Como decía, o sea, veía... o viceversa. There is some other "likes", like, like adj parecido, similar; I’m glad we’re of like mind on this issue = me alegro de que estemos de acuerdo or pensemos igual sobre este asunto; people of like minds = gente con ideas afines PREPOSITION, (SIMILAR TO) I want a hat like this one = quiero un sombrero como éste; (typical of): that’s not like her: she’s normally so punctual = es muy raro en ella porque suele ser muy puntual; (indicating manner): like this/that = así; hold it like this = ¡agárralo así!; (in same way as) como; don’t treat me like a child! = no me trates como a un niño; (AND SO ON AND SO FORTH...) |
