Making Comparisons

 In Spanish, comparisons are made by placing “más (more)” or “menos (less)” before an adjective and “que” after it. ◦ -¿Enrique, eres más alto que tu mamá? ◦ -No, soy más bajo que ella. Ella es 6´5. ◦ -¿Ustedes son más simpáticos que sus amigos? ◦ -Sí, pero nuestros amigos son más inteligentes que nosotros.

 Comparisons can be made with adjectives (bigger than, smarter than), nouns (more money than, more books than) or adverbs (does x better than, faster than). However the pattern is always the same:  más/menosadj/noun/adv que  Esta clase es más difícil que la física avanzada. ◦ This class is more difficult than advanced physics  Tienes más dinero que yo ◦ You have more money than I do.  Mi abuela corre más rápido que ustedes. ◦ My grandma runs faster than you guys.

 De is used instead of “que” before a number.  Este libro cuesta más de 50 dólares. ◦ This book costs more than 50 dollars.  Hay menos de dos minutos para terminar el examen. ◦ There are less than two minutes to finish the exam.

 To form equal comparisons with adjectives and adverbs (as big/fast/ funny as ) use:  tan…adj/adv …como  -Luis es tan inteligente como Sergio. ◦ Luis is as intelligent as Sergio.  -Sí, pero no es tan guapo como Sergio. ◦ Yes, but he´s not as good looking as Sergio.  -El presidente habla mal el español. ◦ The president speaks Spanish badly.  -Sí, pero tú hablas tan mal como el. ◦ Yes, but you speak as badly as he does.

 When making an equal comparison with nouns (as many books as, as much money as) use:  Tanto (tanta, tantos, tantas)…noun…como…  ¿Tu das muchas fiestas?  Sí, pero no doy tantas fiestas como mis amigos. ◦ Do you throw a lot of parties. ◦ Yes, but I don´t throw as many parties as my friends.

 The superlative (biggest, best, highest) in Spanish is similar to unequal comparisons.  El/la/los/las noun más/menos adj de  Catalina es la chica más inteligente de la clase.  Victoria es la ciudad menos interesante de Canadá.  De in this case means “in”: in the class, in Canada.

 As in English, some comparatives and superlatives are irregular:  Adj.Comp.Superl.  Buenomejorel/la mejor  Malopeorel/la peor  Grandemayorel/la mayor  Pequeñomenorel/la menor  El pollo asado es mejor que la hamburguesa. ◦ The roast chicken is better than the hamburger.

 “Mejor” and “mayor” are easy to confuse: Mejor is pronounced “May-whore”, mayor is pronounced “my-your”.  Mayor and Menor are used to describe age, not size. When “Grande” and “pequeño” describe physical size “más…que” is used:  Mi hermano es menor que yo, pero él es también más grande.

 ¿Eres más alto que tu papá?  ¿Tienes más dinero que tus amigos?  ¿Los niños de hoy son más inteligentes que los niños de 1985?  ¿Eres más independiente que tu hermano (a) menor?  ¿El Salvador es tan grande como Canadá?  Quién es la persona más alta/baja/cómica/aburrida/perfeccionista/ guapa de tus amigos?
