Comparative

A structure that compares two elements of reality, using adjectives, adverbs, or verbs. The comparative in Italian can be majority, equality or minority and it is a very flexible structure. For example I can say, 'mi piace più bere il vino che bere la birra'. Here I compare the action of drinking but I can also compare the intelligence of two people, for example I can say, 'Maria è più intelligente di Priscilla'. A tip! Instead of using 'di' or 'che' you can always use 'RISPETTO A'!
