In Mandarin, when we want to compare things, we use a simple pattern: “A 比 B + adjective.” Let's break it down with some easy points and examples.

1. Basic Structure:

   • Formula: A 比 B + adjective
   • Example: “她比我高。” (Tā bǐ wǒ gāo.) – “She is taller than I am.”

2. Comparative Adjectives:

   • We use words that show differences, like 高 (gāo) which means tall and 便宜 (piányí) which means cheap.
   • Example: “这本书比那本书便宜。” (Zhè běn shū bǐ nà běn shū piányí.) – “This book is cheaper than that one.”

3. Indicating Degree:

   • We can say 很 (hěn) which means very, or 更 (gèng) which means more, to show how big the difference is.
   • Example: “他更聪明。” (Tā gèng cōngmíng.) – “He is smarter.”

4. Superlative Forms:

   • We use 最 (zuì) to say the best or highest.
   • Example: “他是班上最高的。” (Tā shì bān shàng zuì gāo de.) – “He is the tallest in the class.”

Try practicing these structures with different adjectives.
