Like can be used as a preposition, it means something is similar to or resembles something else. For example:
- She looks like my friend Mona. (She looks similar to Mona)
- She sings like a bird. (Her voice reminds me of a bird)

- He's younger than his friends, but they treat him as an equal.
- He started as a one-man business, but now he employs over 200 people.
