Twice as: Dobbelt så ... som
To say something is "twice as" or "double as" [adjective] as something else, use dobbelt så, the adjective or adverb, and som (as).
| The new ride in the amusement park is twice as wild as the old one. | Den nye forlystelse i tivoliet er dobbelt så vild som den gamle. |
| He did not want to try the Ferris wheel because it was twice as high as the roller coaster. | Han ville ikke prøve pariserhjulet fordi det var dobbelt så højt som rutschebanen. |
This structure also works with amounts by adding meget (much).
| The trip on the ride gave me twice as much adrenaline as before. | Turen i forlystelsen gav mig dobbelt så meget adrenalin som før. |
Three times as: [Number] gange så ... som
For multipliers greater than two, use the number followed by gange så (times as).
| The roller coaster is three times as scary as the carousel. | Rutschebanen er tre gange så skræmmende som karrusellen. |
| The woman's ticket was four times as expensive as the man's ticket for the amusement park. | Kvindens billet var fire gange så dyr som mandens billet til tivoliet. |
Using multipliers with adverbs
These comparisons describe actions just as easily as things. Simply use an adverb to describe how fast or intensely a ride moves.
| The girls laughed because the carousel ran twice as fast as the Ferris wheel. | Pigerne grinte fordi karrusellen kørte dobbelt så hurtigt som pariserhjulet. |
| Did you get dizzy when the Ferris wheel ran twice as fast as normally? | Blev du rundtosset da pariserhjulet kørte dobbelt så hurtigt som normalt? |
