有 (yǒu), besides just meaning "to have," can also be used in comparisons. It's what you use instead of 比 (bǐ) if something is "as [Adj.] as" something else.

== Basic Pattern == === Structure === The structure is very straightforward. It literally means "A has B's [Adj.]." The meaning is "A is as [Adj.] as B." This pattern is often used in questions. Note that B is usually the one that the speaker is in favor of.
A + 有 + B + Adj. + 吗 ?
=== Examples ===
* 他 ''有'' 我 帅 吗 ?Tā ''yǒu'' wǒ shuài ma?Is he as handsome as me? * 你 ''有'' 老板 忙 吗 ?Nǐ ''yǒu'' lǎobǎn máng ma?Are you as busy as the boss? * 他 ''有'' 姚明 高 吗 ?Tā ''yǒu'' Yáo Míng gāo ma?Is he as tall as YaoMing? * 纽约 人口 ''有'' 上海 人口 多 吗 ?Niǔyuē rénkǒu ''yǒu'' Shànghǎi rénkǒu duō ma?Is the population of New York city as big as that of Shanghai?
If a verb is included in this pattern to talk about an action, use this structure below:
A + 有 + B + Verb + 得 + Adj. + 吗 ?
A few examples:
* 他 ''有'' 我 做 '''得''' 好 吗 ?Tā ''yǒu'' wǒ zuò '''de''' hǎo ma?Can he do as well as I do? * 你 ''有'' Bolt 跑 '''得''' 快 吗 ?Nǐ ''yǒu'' Bolt pǎo '''de''' kuài ma?Can you run as fast as Bolt does?
== Advanced Pattern == === Structure === This form is often used with 这么 or 那么, which in this case means "as much." And it indicates that B is already very [Adj.]. When B is absent, 那么 means "so" or "that".
A + 有 (+ B) + 这么 / 那么 + Adj. + 吗 ?
=== Examples ===
* 她 ''有'' '''那么''' 漂亮 吗 ?Tā ''yǒu'' '''nàme''' piàoliang ma?Is she really that pretty? * 这个 药 ''有'' '''这么''' 神奇 吗 ?Zhège yào ''yǒu'' '''zhème''' shénqí ma?Is this medicine really that magical? * 他 ''有'' 姚明 '''那么''' 高 吗 ?Tā ''yǒu'' Yáo Míng '''nàme''' gāo ma?Is he really as tall as YaoMing? * 你 ''有'' Bill Gates '''那么''' 有钱 吗 ?Nǐ ''yǒu'' Bill Gates '''nàme''' yǒuqián ma?Are you as rich as Bill Gates?
