How to make comparisons using "like" in japanese?


So take the following (contrived) example in english.

> A: What does 'plane' mean?  
>  B: Which 'plane'? 'Plane' like 'the thing in the sky'? 'Plain' like 'hills
> on the ground'? Or 'plane' like 'a pocket dimension'?

Another example in Japanese:

> A: 「なのか」はどういう意味ですか？  
>  B: どっちの「なのか」？「なのか」 **like** 「みっか」？「なのか」 **like** 「だよね」?

How do I express the 'like' in that way in Japanese?




Informally, I would suggest 「みたいな」 or even just 「の」. One can say:

> 「みっか、よっか」みたいな「なのか」？
>
> 「みっか、よっか」の「なのか」？
