So as you and so are you

difference between there usage and meaning?

  

Top answer

These two are not obviously comparable. "So are you" is a phrase with a recognisable meaning, whereas "so as you" is just a fragment -- a combination of words that may appear together in a sentence, but it is not clear with what purpose unless one sees the whole sentence. If you have seen a particular sentence where the meanings of "so are you" and "so as you" seem related or confusable, please post the whole sentence.
