Modifying comparisons with meget
When you want to emphasize a comparison in Danish, you can place a degree modifier right before the comparative adjective or adverb. The most common modifier is meget (much). Just like in English, you use it to say that a difference isn't just slight—it is "much bigger" or "much better".
| Jupiter is much bigger than the other planets in the solar system. | Jupiter er meget større end de andre planeter i solsystemet. |
| Our new astronomer understands the universe much better now. | Vores nye astronom forstår universet meget bedre nu. |
Taking it further with endnu
To say that something goes even further beyond what is already extreme or expected, use endnu (even). Placing endnu before a comparative translates to "even more [adjective]".
| Venus is even warmer than the Earth. | Venus er endnu varmere end jorden. |
| The astronomer thinks that Saturn is even more beautiful. | Astronomen synes at Saturn er endnu smukkere. |
Adding dramatic scale with langt
When you want to express a vast, unmistakable difference—like the extreme distances and conditions found in outer space—you can use langt (far / by far). It works exactly like saying something is "far colder" or "far smaller" in English.
| Since Mars is farther away, it is far colder. | Da Mars er længere væk, er den langt koldere. |
| The atmosphere on Venus is far thicker than on Mars. | Atmosfæren på Venus er langt tykkere end på Mars. |
