Comparisons of inequality NOUNS Juan prepara más platos que José. Juan prepares more dishes than José (does). Susana come menos carne que Enrique. Susan eats less meat than Enrique (does).

¡ATENCIÓN! Hay más de cincuenta naranjas. Note that while English has a comparative form for short adjectives and adverbs (taller, later), such forms do not exist in Spanish (más alto, más tarde). When the comparison involves a numerical expression, de is used before the number instead of que. Hay más de cincuenta naranjas. Llego en menos de diez minutos.

Comparisons of inequality With verbs, the following construction is used to make comparisons of inequality: [ verb ] + más/menos que Mis hermanos comen más que yo. My brothers eat more than I (do). Arturo duerme menos que su padre. Arturo sleeps less than his father (does).

Comparisons of equality The following constructions are used to make comparisons of equality. tan + adjective + como adverb tanto/a (s) + singular noun + como plural noun

Comparisons of equality Este plato es tan delicioso como aquél. This dish is as delicious as that one (is). Ustedes probaron tantos platos como ellos. You tried as many dishes as they did.

¡ATENCIÓN! Note that tanto acts as an adjective and therefore agrees in number and gender with the noun it modifies: tantas cosas. Tan and tanto can also be used for emphasis, rather than to compare, with these meanings: tan so, tanto so much, tantos/as so many. ¡Tu almuerzo es tan grande! Your lunch is so big! ¡Comes tanto! You eat so much! ¡Comes tantas manzanas! You eat so many apples!

Comparisons of equality Comparisons of equality with verbs are formed by placing tanto como after the verb. Note that in this construction tanto does not change in number or gender. [ verb ] + tanto como No duermo tanto como mi tía. I don’t sleep as much as my aunt (does). Estudiamos tanto como ustedes. We study as much as you (do).

el / la / los / las + [ noun ] + más / menos + [ adjective ] + de Superlatives The following construction is used to form superlatives. Note that the noun is always preceded by a definite article and that de is equivalent to the English in or of. el / la / los / las + [ noun ] + más / menos + [ adjective ] + de Es el café más rico del país. It’s the most delicious coffee in the country. Es el menú menos caro de todos éstos. It is the least expensive menu of all of these.

Superlatives ¡ATENCIÓN! While más alone means more, after a noun or a definite article, it means most.

Superlatives The noun in a superlative construction can be omitted if the person, place, or thing referred to is clear. ¿El restaurante El Cráter? Es el más elegante de la ciudad. The El Cráter restaurant? It’s the most elegant (one) in the city. Recomiendo el pollo asado. Es el más sabroso del menú. I recommend the roast chicken. It’s the most delicious (thing) on the menu.

Irregular comparatives and superlatives When grande and pequeño/a refer to age, the irregular comparative and superlative forms, mayor and menor, are used.

Absolute superlatives To form the absolute superlative of most adjectives and adverbs, drop the final vowel, if there is one, and add -ísimo/a(s). malo  mal-  malísimo mucho  much-  muchísimo ¡El bistec está malísimo! Comes muchísimo. The steak is very bad! You eat a lot (very, very much). difícil + -ísimo  dificilísimo fácil + -ísimo  facilísimo Esta prueba es dificilísima. Los exámenes son facilísimos.
