"Tofauti kati ya 'In comparison to' na 'in comparison with' katika Kiingereza"

Ingawa "compare something to something" na "compare something with something" havimaanishi kitu kimoja (zaidi kuhusu tofauti unaweza kusoma katika makala yangu ya awali), maneno "in comparison to" na "in comparison with" yana maana sawa kabisa. Kwa mfano, unaweza kusema:

In comparison to other candidates, she was very good.

sawa na

In comparison with other candidates, she was very good.

Maana ni kimsingi sawa na misemo "compared with" na "compared to". Mifano mingine:

France is relatively rich, in comparison to/with other European countries.

The American branch of the company makes very little profit, in comparison to/with their Asian division.

Inafaa kutajwa kuwa "in comparison with" ilikuwa ya kawaida zaidi hapo awali kuliko "in comparison to", lakini katika fasihi ya Kiingereza ya sasa zinapatikana mara nyingi sawa.

Mifano mingine ya matumizi sahihi:

...

Hii siyo yote! Jisajili ili kuona sehemu iliyobaki ya maandishi haya na kuwa sehemu ya jamii yetu ya wanaojifunza lugha.

...

Sehemu iliyobaki ya makala hii inapatikana kwa watumiaji walioingia tu. Kwa kujisajili, utapata ufikiaji wa maktaba kubwa ya maudhui.
