Analytical comparisons (เมื่อเทียบกับ)

To draw analytical comparisons between two subjects, use the phrase เมื่อเทียบกับ ("when compared to" or "in comparison with").

Typically, place เมื่อเทียบกับ at the beginning of a sentence, immediately followed by the baseline noun or clause you are comparing against.

Often, เมื่อเทียบกับ establishes the baseline for a main clause containing comparative words (like "more," "less," or "cheaper").

While usually placed at the beginning of a thought to set the context, you can also place เมื่อเทียบกับ and its baseline noun at the end of a sentence to qualify a statement.
