I've been trying to write some short stories in Esperanto to engage sentence building, but this comes up far too often.
So how would I go about saying something like "You're just like your father?"

- You're younger than your father: Vi estas malpli agxa ol via patro.
- You're the youngest of the children: Vi estas la plej juna el la infanoj.
-You're (the) most diligent: Vi estas plej diligenta.
- You're as diligent as possible: Vi estas kiel eble plej diligenta.
Hope that helps you a bit. I think ther should be exercices in the Lernado-Section..

werechick:I don't know how to say "X is nothing like Y"X tute malsamas kiel Y
or "X is just like Y."X estas [gxuste | precize] kiel Y
So how would I go about saying something like "You're just like your father?"Vi estas [gxuste] kiel via patro.
Vi tute samas kiel via patro.
Of course these are relatively literal examples. You might like to try a different approach, as, for example, "Vi kondutas kiel via patro", "Vi memorigas min pri via patro", etc., according to your needs.
