☑ See also (1) Comparison in Chinese with 比 and 没有; (2) Comparison in Chinese with 更. |
We've learned a few ways to do comparison in Chinese before, in today's lesson there are two more ways, the first one uses a Quantified Noun (Phrase).
❖ A Quantified Noun (Phrase) is as such:
Number |
Measure Word |
Noun (Phrase) |
liǎng 两 two |
qiānmǐ 千米 kilometer |
/ |
yì 一 one |
jīn 斤 "jin" (=500g) |
/ |
shí 十 ten |
kuài 块 "kuai" |
qián 钱 money |

For example,
We can also make comparison in Chinese with this structure, with 还 to stress "an even higher degree".
For example,
❖ Compare these three structures:

A 比 B + adj. | |

A 比 B 更stressed tone + adj. | A 比 B 还 + adj. |
