Show transcript
Care is needed with [ich] and [isch] when listening and speaking. Comparative statements are created by adding -er to most adjectives, e.g., 'lustiger' + 'als'. Some adjectives need an additional change to make the comparative, e.g., 'lang' becomes 'länger'. 'Gut' works like English: its comparative is 'besser', like 'good' becomes 'better' in English. 'Mehr' is an adverb that can be used by itself as a comparative.
