Same...+ than?

Hello

I've got a problem with this sentence:

It is definitely not the same for them to live here than/or in America.

Are both ok? Does it sound natural?


Thanks a lot for your answer.

Assuming you are comparing "here" with "America", neither of those is correct. It should be: It is definitely not the same for them to live here as in America. )

(If you wanted to compare "here or America" with some other place mentioned earlier, then "or" would be correct.)

Hi

Would these two be still grammatical and sound ok?

1) It is definitely not the same to them whether to live here or in America.

2) It is definitely not the same for them either to live here or in America.


Thanks!!

Personally, I would write it like this:

For them, living here is definitely not the same as compared to America.
