Questions & Answers about Весной красивее, потому что теплее.
Why do красивее and теплее end in -ее?
This -ее ending is the standard way to form the comparative degree (meaning "more...") for many adjectives and adverbs. You take the base of the word (красив-, тёпл-) and add -ее. So красиво (beautiful) becomes красивее (more beautiful), and тепло (warm) becomes теплее (warmer).
Where are the words for "it is" in the Russian sentence?
Russian doesn't use "dummy" pronouns like "it" to describe the weather, environment, or a general situation. The comparative adverbs красивее (more beautiful) and теплее (warmer) are enough to make a full statement on their own.
Why does the sentence use весной instead of the dictionary form весна (spring)?
To say "in" a certain season, Russian uses the Instrumental case. The noun весна changes to весной to mean "in spring". You do the same with other seasons, like зимой for "in winter" or летом for "in summer".
