"As" or "like"?

Hello grammar pros!

I'm currently debating with someone whether it's "he has thick hair LIKE you" or "he has thick hair THAN you." "Like" is used when something is the same and "than" when something is different, so I'm pretty sure "like" is correct in this case.

What do you think? 🙂

Thanks in advance!

Hello,

He has thick Hair (precise) and you. but

He has thicker Hair as you.

Declaration:

I recommend: http://www.wie-als.de/ and https://bastiansick.de/kolumnen/abc/alswie/

This is how it is regulated by standard language.

There are also dialectical and regional differences.

In Bavaria e.g. B. will like as the and used and vice versa; and is also ois wia very popular.

Equality: (not) as…

  • He has thick hair like you.
  • He has as thick hair as you.
  • He has as thick hair as you.
  • He has as thick hair as you.
  • You’ve got thick hair.
  • I don’t have as thick hair as you.

Inequality: different from … / more, littlehe etc. as

  • I have thinhee hair as you.
  • My hair is thinhe as Yours.
  • My hair is littlehe Thickness as Yours.

Comparative always with as!
