Questions & Answers about A memória deste modelo é maior.
Why do we use maior instead of mais grande to say "bigger"?
Just like in English where we say "bigger" instead of "more big," Portuguese has irregular forms for some comparatives. The word maior is the irregular comparative form of grande (big). You should always use maior rather than mais grande.
Because memória is a feminine word, shouldn't maior have a feminine ending?
Where does the word deste come from in this sentence?
The word deste is a combination of the preposition de (of) and the masculine singular word for "this" (este). Instead of saying de este, the words merge together. Literally, the sentence translates to "The memory of this model is bigger."
