Definition
一个样 means 'the same' or 'alike'. It is a fixed colloquial phrase used as a predicate, typically after a subject, to indicate that two or more things are identical. It is commonly used in comparisons with 跟 or 和 to say 'X is the same as Y'. Note that 一个样 cannot be used before a noun as an attributive modifier — use 一样的 instead.
