3 PARALLEL SPANISH COMPARISON Simplified Chinese

Some of the following most frequently used Spanish words - más, menos, menor, major, mayor, and peor - can be an adjective or adverb, used in making comparison.


“Más” probably is the most versatile and friendly Spanish word which gets along with all different parts of speech. Usually one can get the superlative form by adding a definite article, el, la, los, las, or lo, which can be replace by possessive adjective, “MI/TU/SU”. Whether it is superlative or comparative form sometimes is easier to be interpreted in the context of the sentence, in additional to the articles used. If the comparative is followed by a number, use “más de” rather than “más que”.


Indefinite articles “un, uno, una, unos, unas” are usually used in comparative form.
