跟…一样 · 没有…那么 — Equal, and “not as … as”
Pattern: A 跟 B 一样 · A 没有 B 那么 …
A 跟 B 一样 (+ adj.) — A is the same as B: 我跟你一样高. A 没有 B (那么) + adj. — A is not as … as B: 今天没有昨天那么冷. This is how you negate a 比 comparison.

| 2 | 这件衣服跟那件一样贵。 zhè jiàn yīfu gēn nà jiàn yíyàng guì This piece of clothing costs the same as that one. |
