Expressing Similarity

[bryce2555760]

Hi, sorry if this is covered in lesson or another thread but I cant find it.

I was wondering how you can express similarity between 2 or more things. E.g. "The moon is like the sun of the night" (sorry i know its a bit cheesy)

Thankyou

I'm pretty sure you'd use ～みたい

For example,

月は夜の太陽みたいだ。　-> tsuki wa yoru no taiyou mitai da.

Literally, The moon is like the night's sun.

I haven't checked with a native speaker yet though.

EDIT: I checked, this is natural sounding.
