What this grammar point covers
Comparison structures in Turkish are used to say that something is bigger, smaller, better, or different than something else.
When to use it
Use these structures to compare two or more things, people, or situations. You can show if something has more or less of a quality, or if it is the most among a group.
Key forms
- daha + adjective (e.g., daha büyük)
- -den/-dan + adjective + (daha) (e.g., Ali Ahmet'ten daha uzun)
- en + adjective (for the superlative, e.g., en güzel)
Examples
Ali Ahmet**'ten daha uzun**.
English: Ali is taller than Ahmet.
Benim arabam seninki**nden daha hızlı**.
English: My car is faster than yours.
Bu kitap en ilginç.
English: This book is the most interesting.
Tips
- Always use the suffix -den/-dan after the thing you are comparing with.
- Use 'daha' before the adjective for 'more'.
- For 'the most', use 'en' before the adjective.
Exceptions and edge cases
- Some adjectives change form slightly when used with 'en' (superlative), but this is rare at A2 level.
