Hear it in real life
Are you ready for the marathon?
Not really. I'm nowhere near fit enough yet.
The project is nowhere near finished, so we need another week.

Not: I'm nowhere near than fit as before.
Say: I'm nowhere near as fit as before.
Use "nowhere near as ... as" to compare two levels, without adding "than."
