{"translation":"## Ano ito?

Ang comparative adjectives ay ginagamit upang ihambing ang dalawang tao, bagay, lugar, o sitwasyon.

Ipinapakita nila na ang isang tao o bagay ay may higit o kulang na katangian kaysa sa isa pa.

Kasama sa mga karaniwang comparative form ang:

Ang salitang than ay madalas gamitin pagkatapos ng comparative adjective.

Tom is taller than Ben.

Kailan gamitin

Gamitin ang comparative adjectives kapag naghahambing ng dalawang tao o bagay.

• This car is faster than that car.
• My room is smaller than yours.

Gamitin ang mga ito kapag naghahambing ng dalawang lugar.

• Calgary is colder than Vancouver.

Gamitin ang mga ito kapag naghahambing ng dalawang sitwasyon.

• Today is busier than yesterday.

Gamitin ang more + adjective sa maraming mas mahabang adjectives.

• This book is more interesting than that one.

Gamitin ang less + adjective upang ipakita ang mas mababang antas ng isang katangian.

• This restaurant is less expensive than the other one.

Structure

Para sa maraming maiikling adjectives, idagdag ang -er.

Subject + be + adjective-er + than + noun/pronoun

• tall → taller
• fast → faster
• old → older

Halimbawa:

Anna is taller than Maria.

Kung ang adjective ay nagtatapos sa -e, idagdag lamang ang -r.

• nice → nicer
• large → larger

Kung ang maiikling adjective ay nagtatapos sa isang vowel + isang consonant, ang huling consonant ay madalas na dinodoble.

• big → bigger
• hot → hotter

Kung ang adjective ay nagtatapos sa consonant + -y, palitan ang y ng i at idagdag ang -er.

• happy → happier
• easy → easier

Para sa maraming mas mahabang adjectives, gamitin ang more.

Subject + be + more + adjective + than + noun/pronoun

• more beautiful
• more comfortable
• more important

Halimbawa:

This chair is more comfortable than that one.

Upang ipakita ang mas mababang antas, gamitin ang less.

Subject + be + less + adjective + than + noun/pronoun

Halimbawa:

This task is less difficult than the last one.

Ang ilang karaniwang adjectives ay may irregular comparative forms.

Mga Halimbawa

1. My brother is taller than me.
2. This bag is cheaper than that one.
3. Today is hotter than yesterday.
4. Her new apartment is bigger than her old one.
5. This exercise is easier than the previous one.
6. The blue jacket is more expensive than the black one.
7. This movie is more interesting than the first one.
8. My English is better than last year.
9. The traffic is worse this morning.
10. This route is less dangerous than the other route.

Mga Exception

Ang ilang adjectives ay may irregular comparative forms at hindi gumagamit ng normal na -er o more pattern.

• good → better
• bad → worse
• far → farther / further

Hindi karaniwang ginagamit ang parehong more at -er nang magkasama.

Gamitin ang:

taller

hindi:

more taller

Ang ilang two-syllable adjectives ay maaaring gumamit ng alinman sa dalawang form depende sa adjective at gamit.

Halimbawa:

• cleverer / more clever
• quieter / more quiet
