similar in appearance or character

Almost the same in how something or someone looks or is.

الگوی کاربرد: [things/people] be alike (in [something])
اشتباه رایج:
Learners sometimes use 'alike' before a noun, e.g. *'an alike dress'*, which is incorrect. Use 'similar' before a noun ('a similar dress') and 'alike' after a verb: 'The dresses are alike.' Another mistake is confusing 'alike' with 'like' as a preposition; you say 'They are alike' but 'They look like each other.'
هم‌معنی‌ها
similar (The most direct synonym; can be used before a noun, while 'alike' usually cannot.) | the same (Stronger; suggests no important difference at all, while 'alike' allows for small differences.) | comparable (More formal and often used for things that can be fairly judged against each other, not just that look similar.)
متضادها
different (General opposite; shows that things are not similar in an important way.) | unlike (Directly contrasts with 'alike' to say that things do not share important similarities.)

الگوی کاربرد: [action] affect [groups/people/things] alike
اشتباه رایج:
Learners sometimes put 'alike' in the wrong place, e.g. *'He alike treats his children.'* It normally goes after the verb phrase or at the end: 'He treats his children alike.' Another error is using 'alike' when simply 'both' or 'all' is needed: say 'Both brothers like music,' not *'Both brothers alike like music.'*
هم‌معنی‌ها
equally (Closest in meaning; slightly more common in everyday speech than 'alike' in this adverb sense.) | uniformly (More formal and technical; often used in academic or scientific contexts.) | similarly (Focuses on being done in a similar manner; 'alike' often stresses that no one is treated differently.)
متضادها
differently (Opposite in manner; shows that people or things do not receive the same treatment.) | unequally (Direct opposite to the 'equally' aspect of 'alike'; often used about unfair treatment.)
