Question

I saw a man who has the same coloured hat as me. I saw a man, with the same coloured hat as me.As you can see above, who has/who have can be replaced by 'with.'However, why does it not seem to work in the below sentence? It no longer seems to feel adjectival. I searched for jobs on Trademe, which has quite a few choices.I searched for jobs on Trademe, with quite a few choices.Thanks

English 1b3 saw a man who has the same coloured hat as me.

This just caught my eyes. Shouldn't it be "...the same coloured hat as mine"?[:^)]

English 1b3 · Answer

Yes!

Or 'I.'

Sorry, copied and pasted it from a place I write very casually/poorly on

The reason for this is very simple. Different words have different collocations.

While 'a man with' is very common if you want to describe a man, 'X (company name) with' isn't. 'X with' can possibly work well in some contexts but not in this one.
