Is it possible to say mia domo similas vian? It feels less mangled than al via

In English you would only use "than" to compare things that are different. More than or less than. A house can be similar to another house, but not similar than another. It may be the same in Esperanto.

Why not "similas" instead of "estas simila"? Isn't "similas" a verb meaning "is similar"?

"Mia domo similas al la via" is an accepted answer. I'm not sure why duo wants "al la via" and not just "al via," though.

la via = yours, via = your. See Kellerman's textbook for more explanations.
