Learn Japanese 104: Nami (ni)/並みに

Nami (ni) is somewhat tricky and has two distinct meanings. An easy way to differentiate between the two by seeing if 並み is connected to a noun by a particle or not.If not: That it means to match, or be equal/equivalent to whatever it is connected to. If so: (meaning it is being connected with a particle etc.) Than is indicates something in general or normally.
