Understanding Tiếng Việt Comparative Adjectives
Comparative adjectives in Tiếng Việt help us compare things, people, or places. They show how something is more or less than something else.
Important Points
- Use 'hơn' to show something is more than another.
- Use 'kém' to show something is less than another.
- Comparative adjectives come after the noun they describe.
When you want to say something is more than another, you use 'hơn' after the adjective. If you want to say something is less, you use 'kém'.
Examples
- Cô ấy cao hơn tôi.
- Quyển sách này thú vị hơn quyển sách kia.
- Anh ấy kém thông minh hơn em gái của mình.
In these examples, 'hơn' and 'kém' help us see the difference between two things. 'Cao hơn' means taller, and 'kém thông minh' means less smart.
