Úgy úszik, mint egy hal. [nyelvtán]

Post by MagyarJános »

(Úgy) (úszik), (mint) (egy) (hal).
(So) (he swims), (like) (a) (fish).
So, he swims like a fish.

Is "úgy" a triggering adverb that indicates a comparison? I have only seen this word in the Hungarian to English.

I would translate it as "he swims in such a way as a fish does".
