Comparisons with 比 — Chinese grammar (HSK 2)

A + 比 + B + Adjective

To compare two things, put 比 (bǐ) between them and follow with a plain adjective: 他比我高 is "he than me tall", i.e. "He is taller than me". Chinese adjectives have no "-er" form, so the adjective stays unchanged. To say how much more, add 一点儿 (a bit) after the adjective.

Examples

他比我高。 Tā bǐ wǒ gāo.	He is taller than me.
今天比昨天冷。 Jīntiān bǐ zuótiān lěng.	Today is colder than yesterday.
这个手机比那个贵一点儿。 Zhè ge shǒujī bǐ nà ge guì yīdiǎnr.	This phone is a bit more expensive than that one.

Tip: Never put 很 after 比; 他比我很高 is wrong.
