~ N보다

~ Grammar Focus:

보다 indicates that the word preceding it is the standard from which a comparison will be made. It corresponds to ‘more… than’ or ‘-er than’ in English. Though 보다 is added to a noun to form ‘N이/가 N보다 –하다’, the order of the subject and noun with 보다 added can be reversed with no change in meaning. Also, while the adverbs 더 and 덜 are generally used together with 보다, they can be omitted.
