comparable between?

[herbivorie]

My life style is not comparable with yours. (This is a sentence from a dictionary, so there's no further context.)

Would it be incorrect if I change the sentence using "between"?

The lifestyle is not comparable between you and I.

(I have learned that "similar to" is correct and "similar between" is wrong, so I wanted to make sure about "comparable" too.)

between you and I.

After the preposition "between", the object form "me" should be used.

Not a teacher.

You could say There's no comparison between your lifestyle and mine. Comparable between doesn't work for me.

How about, "There's nothing comparable between my lifestyle and yours"?
I'm not sure what any of these sentences mean though. If you have judged two things incomparable, you must have already made some comparison, so it's self-contradictory.

"Our lifestyles aren't comparable."

 

[Tdol]

How about, "There's nothing comparable between my lifestyle and yours"?

That one works just fine.

So, does "comparable between" work only when it's used after "nothing"?

"There isn't anything comparable between my lifestyle and yours."
Does it work too?

 

[Raymott]

"There isn't anything comparable between my lifestyle and yours."
Does it work too?

Of course.

That is different from what you said in post #4.

And ... ? Are you scouring my posts now to catch me in contradictions? :-D

 

[MikeNewYork]

Just making posts to help the learners. And you?

Just making posts to help the learners. And you?

Simply highlighting that my contention that you've made a habit of contradicting me and writing the opposite of what I say whenever you can is not without justification.
Also, of course, wondering what point you're making about the fact that I said different things in different posts. I would like to think you want clarification, but I'm pretty sure you just want to make me appear inconsistent.

 

[MikeNewYork]

Not nearly that complicated. When you say a sentence doesn't work in one post and then you say the opposite in another post, what is a learner expected to understand? I wasn't trying to make you appear inconsistent; you were, in fact, inconsistent. As you said, "Lighten up". It's all good.
