Two peas in a pod: 3 ways to say people are alike

To say two people are very alike in a friendly way, say "They're like two peas in a pod." Use "Birds of a feather" to tease people who share the same tastes or habits. Use "Cut from the same cloth" when you are talking seriously about shared character or values, often in a family.

表現ごとの解説

It's like two peas in a pod. 口調とニュアンス: Playful and warm

Use it for friends, siblings, or partners who look, act, or think the same way. A pod is the green case that peas grow in. It is friendly, so avoid it when you want to criticize someone.

“It's like two peas in a pod.”

使用作品：Landfill (2021)
Birds of a feather. 口調とニュアンス: Light, a little teasing

Use it for people with the same tastes or habits, often with a small joke. It is the short form of the saying "Birds of a feather flock together." It can sound a little critical if the shared habit is a bad one.

“Birds of a feather.”

使用作品：The Pope Drops In (2023)
Cut from the same cloth. 口調とニュアンス: Serious, about character

Use it when people share the same values or personality, often in a family. It is about who people are, not about small things like clothes or food.

“Cut from the same cloth.”

使用作品：The Warrant (2020)
You two are so alike. 口調とニュアンス: Plain and neutral

This is the safest choice in any situation, including work. It has no idiom, so everyone understands it.
We have a lot in common. 口調とニュアンス: Friendly, a bit careful

Use it when you share interests or experiences with someone new. It works well when you are getting to know a person. It does not mean you look alike.
Like father, like son. 口調とニュアンス: Familiar, often joking

Use it when a child acts like a parent. You can change the words, for example "Like mother, like daughter." Do not use it for friends who are not family.

よくある間違い

惜しい表現 ~~They're like two pea in the pod.~~

より適切な表現 They're like two peas in a pod.

The idiom is fixed. Use the plural "peas" and the article "a" before "pod." Changing the words makes the idiom sound wrong to native speakers.
惜しい表現 ~~They're birds of the same feather.~~

より適切な表現 They're birds of a feather.

Here "a feather" already means "the same kind of feather." Adding "the same" is not the standard form.
惜しい表現 ~~They're cut from the same clothes.~~

より適切な表現 They're cut from the same cloth.

"Cloth" is the material that clothes are made from. The idiom compares two people to two pieces cut from one piece of material.
