- <p><span style="color: rgb(139, 0, 0); font-family: NotoSansCJKsc; font-size: 22px;">不如</span> (<span class="pinyin">bùrú</span>) can be used to make comparisons in a similar way as the <a href="Basic_comparisons_with_"bi"" title="wikilink">比</a> structure. In its simplest form <span class="hanzi">不如</span> is used to convey that A is '<b>not as good as</b>' B. Unlike the <span class="hanzi">比</span> structure, when used in this way, the adjective or verb can be omitted.</p>

- <div class="exemple">
- <ul>

- <p>When an adjective or verb is added to the structure it can then be used to mean A is not as '<b>adjective</b>' as B, or A does not '<b>verb</b>' as well as B:</p>

- <p>When facing a choice, <span class="hanzi">不如</span> can also be used to mean "<b>might as well</b>" to emphasize the choice is the better of two options. When used like this, it is similar in meaning to <span class="hanzi">不妨</span>.</p>
- <h3 id="examples-2">Examples</h3>
- <div class="exemple">
- <ul>
- <li><span class="hanzi">在 家 看 电视 多 无聊 ！不如 去 KTV 吧 。</span>  <span class="trans">, might as well .</span></li>

- <li><span class="hanzi">与其 空想，不如 马上 行动 。</span> <span class="trans">Rather than fantasizing, you might as well take action right away.</span></li>
- <li><span class="hanzi">与其 天天 吵架 ，不如 离婚 。</span> <span class="trans">Rather than fighting each and every day, you might as well break up.</span></li>
- </ul>
- </div>
- <p>As in the last two example sentences, <span class="hanzi">不如</span> often occurs in the <span class="hanzi">与其...不如</span> structure, meaning "r<b>ather than X... might as well Y.</b>"</p>
