Comparative Adjectives (-ere)
To compare two things, add -ere to the end of a regular adjective. For example, hurtig (fast) becomes hurtigere (faster), and stærk (strong) becomes stærkere (stronger).
| The dog is fast, but the lion is faster. | Hunden er hurtig, men løven er hurtigere. |
| The boy is strong, but the men are stronger. | Drengen er stærk, men mændene er stærkere. |
Expressing "Than" with "End"
To state what you are comparing the subject to, use the word end (than). Place it directly after the comparative adjective, just as in English.
| The lion is stronger than the dog. | Løven er stærkere end hunden. |
| The giraffe is prettier than the monkey. | Giraffen er pænere end aben. |
| The monkey is smarter than the bird. | Aben er klogere end fuglen. |
Describing Traits and Conditions
Comparative adjectives can be used before nouns to describe physical traits, or to compare conditions like the weather.
| The pig has a shorter tail than the elephant. | Grisen har en kortere hale end elefanten. |
| Today the weather is colder than yesterday. | I dag er vejret koldere end i går. |
| The giraffe is thinner than the elephant. | Giraffen er tyndere end elefanten. |
