"Compared to", do you translate that prefereably with -e/a kıyasla or -e/a nazaran?

I mean in this way:

Compared to you, she looks like a goat.

Compared to your house, my house is like a zoo.

Or is there another way to avoid karşılaştırmak? =)

I would translate as follows;

Sana kıyasla/nazaran o bir keçiyi andırıyor.

Senin evine göre/nazaran/kıyasla benimkisi bir hayvanat bahçesi gibi.

or;

Seninle kıyaslarsam o bir keçiye benizor

Seninle kıyasladığımız vakit o bir keçiye benziyor

Senin yanında o bir keçiye benziyor

Senin evinin yanında benimkisi (benim evim) bir hayvanat bahçesini andırıyor.

 

etc.. there are many options that you can choose

Merhaba,

Generally you can use these two forms, and it can also be "-e nisbeten", -"e göre". I think all are almost same or similar.

 

Ülkeniz Türkiye´ye nazaran daha yağmurlu.

Bu telefonun fiyatı diğerlerine kıyasla daha uygun.

Bizim şirketimize nisbeten, onların şirketi daha ciddi çalışıyor.

 Ortadaki apartman sağdakine göre (sağdaki apartmana göre) daha uzun.

 

I think we can make up these forms as well;

Senin evini düşünürsek, benim evim hayvanat bahçesi gibi. (your second example, more like "considering your house" for comparison)
