Questions & Answers about La mia macchina è uguale alla tua.
Why doesn't this sentence use così... come or tanto... quanto for the comparison?
The adjective uguale means 'equal' or 'identical', so the idea of equality is already built into the word! Instead of using a comparison structure like 'as much as', you are simply saying 'equal to'. When you use uguale, you connect it to the second item using the preposition a (to).
Why is it alla tua instead of just a tua?
alla is the combined form of the preposition a (to) and the definite article la (the). You need la because tua is acting as a pronoun here, replacing the phrase la tua macchina (your car) so you don't have to repeat the word macchina.
Could I use tanto... quanto or così... come in this sentence anyway?
Why do we say La mia macchina instead of just Mia macchina?
