To be identical or very similar.
خلفية ثقافية
Resemblance to parents is highly valued and often discussed at family gatherings as a sign of 'strong blood.' Water is seen as a pure, honest element. Being 'like water' implies a natural, unforced similarity. The phrase is used in 'Deepfake' discussions or when finding celebrity doppelgängers on TikTok/Instagram. The show 'Як дві краплі' popularized the idiom among the younger generation as a synonym for 'perfect impersonation.'
Use with 'схожий'
While you can just say 'Вони як дві краплі води', adding the adjective 'схожі' (plural) or 'схожий' (singular) makes the sentence feel more complete for a learner.
Gender Agreement
Don't forget that 'дві' is feminine. Even if you are talking about two men, it's still 'дві краплі' because the word 'drop' is feminine.
