What is another word for something like?
Pronunciation: [sˈʌmθɪŋ lˈa͡ɪk] (IPA) 
When we want to describe something but don't have an exact word for it, we often use the phrase "something like" to convey a close approximation. However, there are various synonyms you can use to add diversity to your communication. One option is to use "similar to", which suggests a likeness, but not necessarily an exact match. "Akin to" is also a useful alternative, giving a sense of kinship or resemblance. Another possibility is "resembling", which emphasizes the appearance of something, while "alike" emphasizes the similarities. Finally, "in the vein of" suggests a shared style or tone, while "akin", "analogous", "corresponding", and "comparable" also emphasize similarities.
