The phrase "i forhold til"
To express "compared to" or "in relation to", use the preposition i forhold til. Place it directly before a noun phrase to set the baseline for your comparison.
| The woman sees significant progress compared to her old level. | Kvinden ser betydelig fremgang i forhold til sit gamle niveau. |
| The progress is small compared to the goal. | Fremgangen er lille i forhold til målet. |
Comparing across time
You can also follow i forhold til directly with a time word like før (before) or i går (yesterday) to describe how a situation has changed.
| The improvement is noticeable compared to yesterday. | Forbedringen er mærkbar i forhold til i går. |
| The doctor wants to check the girl's memory compared to before. | Lægen vil tjekke pigens hukommelse i forhold til før. |
Declines and comparisons
If you need to discuss a step backward, use the noun tilbagegang (decline).
| The father is nervous about the decline compared to last year. | Faren er nervøs for tilbagegangen i forhold til sidste år. |
To explicitly state the action of comparing, use the verb sammenligne (to compare).
| When we compare the result, it is progressing compared to before. | Når vi sammenligner resultatet, går det fremad i forhold til før. |
