Questions & Answers about Цифровая обработка — это такой же долгий процесс, как и аналоговая.
This lesson is about по сравнению с (compared to). Why does this sentence use такой же ... как и instead?
The phrase по сравнению с is used to highlight a difference or contrast, like saying one thing is faster or better compared to another. In this sentence, the two things being compared are exactly equal in duration. To express equality, such as just as [adjective] as, Russian uses the construction такой же ... как и.
Why is it такой же долгий (masculine) when the subject, цифровая обработка, is feminine?
The phrase такой же долгий must agree in gender with the noun it directly modifies. Here, it modifies the masculine noun процесс. The sentence structure is essentially saying that one feminine thing is a masculine thing, so the adjectives attached to that masculine noun take the masculine form.
Why is the word аналоговая at the end feminine, if the previous part was masculine?
What is the purpose of the и in как и? Could I just say как?
You could just use как, but in comparisons of equality, такой же ... как и is a standard paired construction. The и here does not mean and; it functions as an emphasizing particle that highlights the similarity, making it sound more complete and natural to Russian ears.
