Questions & Answers about La modelo pozas same kiel ŝi pozis en la studio.

Why is it same kiel and not sama kiel?

Because same is being used adverbially: it describes how the model poses.

• same = in the same way / similarly
• sama = the same, used as an adjective before a noun

So here:

• La modelo pozas same kiel ŝi pozis... = the model poses the same way as she posed...
• But la sama modelo would mean the same model

In short, same modifies the verb pozas, not a noun.

What does kiel do in this sentence?

Kiel introduces the comparison.

Here, same kiel means the same way as or just as.

So the structure is:

• same kiel ŝi pozis = the same way as she posed

This is a very common pattern in Esperanto when comparing actions or manner.

Why are there two different verb forms, pozas and pozis?
