Please be patient

Our volunteers look into many questions every day; sometimes it takes them a little while to answer.

Pro tip: you can rename the thread title with `.tr <thread name>`

Make it descriptive, including relevant context, but also to the point. This way you improve your chances of getting a more relevant and specific answer.

yes, they're the same.
with the caveat that "tel" is limited to "tel" + noun, whereas "comme" has other use cases (comme pour, comme dans, etc). Also "tel" indicates a universal reference, and isn't used to make direct comparisons for instance "comme mes parents" (you can't use "tel" as "mes parents" is referring to specific people)
In addition, "tel" is limited to formal speech, and goes basically unused in colloqual speech.

-# also, "je me bats" (not "je me battre")

something more common than tel itself is tel quel

Oh thank you for the fix
And what does "tel quel" mean?

[broken ember]

yes, "tel quel" doesn't mean the same and is basically its own word, which is used colloqually
=> as is

[tired canopy]
