About this pattern
Explanation
並み is used to compare something to a high standard, suggesting it is at the same level as something well-known or admired. It often follows a noun to describe the quality that is comparable, or is used after は to assert that something is on par with another thing. It conveys a sense of excellence or adequacy similar to “on par with” or “worthy of.” It can be used for skills, quality, effort, or results, and is often used in formal or neutral contexts rather than casual slang.
