Similar describes things that share characteristics but aren't identical. Use 'similar to' when comparing (not 'similar with'). 'Similarity' is the noun. 'Similarly' is the adverb meaning in a similar way. 'Similar' suggests likeness, while 'same' suggests identity.

「similar」描述具有共同特征但不完全相同的事物。比较时使用「similar to」（不是「similar with」）。「similarity」是名词。「similarly」是副词，意思是以类似的方式。「similar」暗示相似性，而「same」暗示同一性。

«Similar» describe cosas que comparten características pero no son idénticas. Usa «similar to» al comparar (no «similar with»). «Similarity» es el sustantivo. «Similarly» es el adverbio que significa de manera similar. «Similar» sugiere semejanza, mientras que «same» sugiere identidad.

「similar」は特徴を共有しているが同一ではないものを表します。比較するときは「similar to」を使います（「similar with」ではありません）。「similarity」は名詞です。「similarly」は同様にという意味の副詞です。「similar」は類似性を、「same」は同一性を示唆します。

Similar는 특징을 공유하지만 동일하지는 않은 것을 설명합니다. 비교할 때 'similar to'를 사용합니다('similar with'가 아님). 'Similarity'는 명사형이고, 'similarly'는 비슷한 방식으로라는 뜻의 부사입니다. 'Similar'는 유사성을, 'same'은 동일성을 나타냅니다.
