Using "kuin" for "than"
Now that you know how to form comparative adjectives, you can make full comparisons using the word kuin (than).
The structure for a basic comparison is straightforward: state your subject, the verb on (is), your comparative adjective, kuin, and finally the thing you are comparing it to.
Comparing Vehicle Features
When comparing specific parts of a vehicle, you will often use the genitive suffix -n to express ownership, such as "the car's" (auton) or "the airplane's" (lentokoneen).
Let's look at some mechanical vocabulary to use in our comparisons:
To compare these features, state the first vehicle in the genitive, the vehicle part, the comparative adjective, kuin, and finally the second vehicle in the genitive and its part.
Asking Comparative Questions
To ask if something is "more" than something else, start the sentence with Onko (Is...?). The rest of the comparison structure remains exactly the same.
Once you are comfortable with this structure, you can combine these comparisons with other clauses using conjunctions like koska (because) to explain your preferences.
