bigger than, better than, taller than

London Baariis wey ka weyntahay - London is bigger than Paris
Isagu iyada wuu ka dheeryahay - He is taller than her
Anigu Axmed waan ka wanaagsanahay - I am better than Ahmed


Ka + adjective = more (adjective) than


The subject comes first, then put the thing you are comparing it with , then put 'ka + adjective + ahay'.

Iyadu Faadumo wey ka dhuubantahay - She's slimmer than Faadumo
Dadku Japanese innaga wey ka gaabanyihiin - The Japanese are shorter than us
Cuntadaas cuntadan wey ka macaantahay - That food is tastier than this one

Practice questions
1. This man is bigger than that man.
2. He is taller than her.
3. This book is better than that book.
4. Maxamed is stronger than Saadiya (hint: 'xoogweyn' is the adj.)
5. New York is more dangerous than Tokyo ('khatarsan')
