Usage notes
Collocations
Common pattern: A 不如 B + adjective (e.g., 他不如我聪明 'He is not as smart as me'). The adjective is optional but typical in comparisons.
Common mistakes
不如 compares inferiority, while 不比 (bù bǐ) negates superiority. Saying 我不如他高 is correct ('I'm not as tall as him'), but 我不比他高 means 'I'm not taller than him' (I might be the same height or shorter).
