Comparing Things

To compare two things in German, you stick -er onto the adjective and follow it with als (than):

• klein → kleiner als… (smaller than…)
• schön → schöner als… (more beautiful than…)

There's no separate word "more" — German just changes the adjective.

Irregular comparatives you'll meet often:

Adjective	Comparative	English
gut	besser	good → better
viel	mehr	much → more
groß	größer	big → bigger
hoch	höher	high → higher
gern	lieber	gladly → preferably

For as… as, German uses so… wie: Marina ist so groß wie Luana.
