比

比 — comparison (A 比 B + adj)

Pattern

+ + +
( ) can be left out · other words may come before, between and after

How it works

比 compares two things: "A 比 B + adjective" means A is more [adjective] than B. Do not add 很 before the adjective in this pattern.

Examples

我比他高。
Wǒ bǐ tā gāo.
I'm taller than him.
今天比昨天热。
Jīntiān bǐ zuótiān rè.
Today is hotter than yesterday.
