"My house is similar to yours."

Translation: Mia domo estas simila al via.

[Lochlannn]

why al via, shouldn't it be al la via

[Aleksandro_RU]

agree

[LeFlamel]

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

[hejlikato]

Tio estas kion mi dirus, certe: "al via" ŝajnas kiel oni tradukis ĝin blinde de la anglan.

[Nvirjskly]

Why "al la via"? Isn't a comparison like this usually done with "ol?"

[NotWaje]

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.

[MeghanJames]

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

[vikungen]

Yes, simili should be accepted, report it.

[PatriciaJH]

"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.

[jungerstein]

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

[UkiRyuu]

The reference sentence indeed uses “al via”.

[RaidedbyVikings]

Why is this is the definite form?

[Babachiko]

Ĉu oni povas diri "simila kiel via"?
