Sometimes it's the most common words that are a little unpredictable. How do we say "bigger" and "smaller" in Russian? We can't use exactly the same pattern for these as we do for many other comparatives.
In this video we'll cover how to say things like "their dog is bigger," and "our dog is smaller," using these irregular simple comparatives. We'll also talk about two simple (one-word) comparatives to use before a noun, to express "a smaller apartment" or "a bigger dog" - no using более or менее, as with most other comparatives!
Lastly, we'll touch on how больше and меньше are used as comparative degrees of много and мало as well, which could be handy for weighing job options: "more time, less money," or "more money, less time"?
To get the most out of this video, you may want to review videos in the playlist on comparisons: • Making Comparisons .
