When to use 像……似的 for “As If” and “Like”

似的 (shìde) goes at the end of a comparison and means “as if” or “like”. The comparison is usually opened by 像 or 好像 (in casual speech also 跟): 像 + noun or clause + 似的. The chunk says what something resembles or seems to be, as in 他像没听见似的 “he acted as if he hadn’t heard”; to say two things are really the same, use 一样 instead.

她高兴得像个孩子似的。

She was as happy as a child.

Kesalahan umum

Write 似的, not 似得: 得 is the complement marker that comes before the comparison, as in 高兴得像个孩子似的.
Say shìde, not sìde: 似 is read sì only in words like 似乎.
Use 一样 for real sameness: 我们的看法一样, not 我们的看法似的.
