Stiu ca pare simplu, dar sunt in pana de inspiratie si obosita.

Creau sa-mi aduc aminte daca exista in romana vreo expresie consacrata pentru asta. Iata contexte:

"Like with like always brings luck".
"The concept of matching like with like"

TIA.

notiuni comparabile/asemanatoare


Explanation:
Primul context ma duce cu gandul la "cine se-aseamana".

In al doilea caz, poate "lucruri sau notiuni comparabile/asemanatoare". Cautand pe google am dat peste formularea "comparati lucruri comparabile", dar poate ca un alt verb ar fi mai potrivit.

ceva de genul:
" conceptul asocierii dupa afinitati" pe romaneste

sper sa fie de ajutor
