In Hebrew, if you want to express that someone (or something) is just like someone (or something) else, you’d use the word בדיוק[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/בדיוק-כמוני-2.m4a” /] – exactly, followed by some form of כמו[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/בדיוק-כמוני-3.m4a” /] – like.

For example:
