Benny,
像 is like talking about physical appearance right? Like i could say “你不像我” 对吗? But we also say “你看上去很儽” but that’s also talking about physical appearance right? Please help me clarify the difference.
谢谢, 保重!

Hi Kevin, 像 is not only used to when talking about physical appearance. You can also use it like this:

1. 像benny一样工作 = Work like Benny

2. 像这个房子一样 = same like this house
