Japanese

<p>
	The particle <strong>より</strong> means <strong>than</strong>, and can be used to make comparisons.
	By using the phrase <strong>AはBよりXです</strong>, we can say <strong>A is more X than B</strong>. For example:
</p>

<table class="ui celled table">
    <tbody>
        <tr data-item="265818"></tr>
        <tr data-item="265822"></tr>
		<tr data-item="265868"></tr>
    </tbody>
</table>
<p>To make a comparison with <strong>より</strong> then, we need to use this format:</p>


<table class="ui celled table">
    <tbody>
        <tr>
            <td>Noun 1 is more .... than noun 2.</td>
            <td>Noun 1 + は + noun 2 + より + adjective [+です・だ]</td>
        </tr>
    </tbody>
</table>
