RicardoNicho Posted October 13, 2015 at 06:10 PM Report Posted October 13, 2015 at 06:10 PM Hi! I'm trying to figure it out, if these sentences are all correct: 我跟我哥哥差不多高 我和我哥哥差不多高 我比我哥哥差多不高 I'm trying to make a comparison here. Using 差不多 in the last sentence, may I put 比? I've never came across a 差不多 sentence using 比. Is it correct to use it? Thanks Quote

Messidor Posted October 14, 2015 at 05:06 AM Report Posted October 14, 2015 at 05:06 AM because 比 is used with comparative or superlative while 差不多 means almost the same. you can also say 他同我哥哥差不多高 / 他与我哥哥差不多高 (less frequent) Quote
PaulSav Posted October 14, 2015 at 04:33 PM Report Posted October 14, 2015 at 04:33 PM I'll add to this that Baidu and Google are your friends. If you're unsure if you can say something a certain way, try typing it into one those two search engines. If it's correct then you'll see that phrase (or very similar) show up multiple times. If not, then you might see that correct version, or at least know that you were wrong. 1 Quote
