| Urdu doesn’t have any special words for adjectival comparatives like English "better", "faster," "worse", etc. Instead, Hindi uses the following comparative formula:
رام اچّھا ہے۔ = "Ram is good."
رام شیام سے اچھا ہے۔ = " Ram is better than Shyam." Literally,"Ram is good from Shyam.")
additional examples:
A. amitabh Bachchan is taller than anil Kapoor.
امیتابھ بچّن انیل کپُور سے لمبا ہے۔
(Literally: amitabh Bachchan is tall from anil Kapoor.)
B. The Himalayan range is higher than the Rockies.
ہِمالیہ راکی سے اوںچا ہے۔
(Literally: The Himalayan range is high from the Rockies.)
C. You are better than me.
تم مجھ سے اچھی ہو۔
Remember: " ے " is a postposition, which changes the word before it into oblique! |
