Han er ligesom mig.

• Han = he
• er = is / am / are (present tense of at være, to be)
• ligesom = like, just like, or similar to
• mig = me

So the structure is very close to English: He is like me.

Because Danish uses the object pronoun after ligesom here.

• jeg = I (subject form)
• mig = me (object form)

So:

• Jeg er... = I am...
• ... ligesom mig = ... like me

This is similar to English He is like me, not He is like I.

In this sentence, ligesom is used to compare one person with another, so it means like or just like.

It is commonly treated as a comparison word meaning something like:

• like
• similar to
• just like

So Han er ligesom mig means that he is similar to me in some way.

Yes. Ligesom is written as one word.

That is important, because learners may want to split it into parts, but in normal spelling it is simply:

• ligesom

Yes, you can. Han er som mig is also correct.

Very roughly:

• Han er som mig = He is like me
• Han er ligesom mig = He is like me / just like me

Ligesom can sound a little more emphatic or expressive, depending on context, but in many situations the two are very close in meaning.

This is an important difference.

• Han er ligesom mig = he is like me in a broader sense

  • similar personality
  • similar behavior
  • similar situation
  • similar habits

• Han ligner mig = he looks like me

  • similar face
  • similar appearance

So if you mean resemblance in appearance, ligner is often the better choice.

Not usually by itself.

The sentence usually means he is similar to me in a general way, not specifically in appearance. If you want to say he physically resembles you, Danish more naturally uses:

• Han ligner mig

So ligesom is broader, while ligner is specifically about looking alike.

Yes. This is standard Danish word order for a simple main clause:

• Han = subject
• er = verb
• ligesom mig = comparison phrase

So:

• Han er ligesom mig

This is the expected order in an ordinary statement.

A simple learner-friendly approximation is:

• Han ≈ han with a short a
• er ≈ a soft air / ehr
• ligesom ≈ LEE-som (the middle part is often reduced in natural speech)
• mig ≈ my

A rough full approximation could be:

• han air LEE-som my

But real Danish pronunciation is softer and more reduced than this. In particular, ligesom is often said quite quickly in everyday speech.

Yes, in spoken Danish ligesom can also be used as a filler word, somewhat like English like.

For example, in casual speech it can mean something like:

• kind of
• like
• you know, sort of

But in Han er ligesom mig, it is not a filler. Here it has a real meaning: like / similar to.

In normal modern Danish, han is the pronoun for he, so it is used for a male person.

• han = he
• hun = she

So in this sentence, han tells you the person being talked about is male.

Yes, absolutely. Depending on tone and context, Han er ligesom mig can be translated as:

• He is like me
• He is just like me

If the speaker wants to stress a strong similarity, just like me is a very natural English translation.
