I reckon 'as' is more useful than 'same' for English as second language speakers. It can be used simply with a noun or an adjective in a way that is not always correct but better than 'same' used equally incorrectly.

Here: I'll dislodge a few of the phrases that I hear now and then.
E=English
K=Konglish

1: E- 'I'm happy.'
K- 'Me same.'

Isn't it better to say, 'As me.' That would sound nicer.

2: E-'I'm a president of a company.'
K-'You same, I'm a president of a company.'

Would be better with, 'As you, I'm a president of a company.'

Please don't lightly teach 'as,' as part of your curriculum. Give weight to 'as,' as much as you would to 'same.'

Lest we all become victims of 'gangster ear.'

Ever here of "so am I" This thread is major bollocks...

Ever hear of 'hear'?

[mateomiguel]

As me? I've never said anything like that in my whole life. I will not teach what I don't speak myself.
