より means “than.” It is used to compare two things. The basic pattern is “A は B より [adjective]” which means “A is more [adjective] than B.” Key points: • B より A は + adjective = A is more … than B • より comes after the thing you compare to • Use with adjectives like 大きい, 安い, 早い, etc. • Very common in everyday comparisons Example: “犬は猫より大きいです” means “Dogs are bigger than cats.” “この本はあの本より安いです” means “This book is cheaper than that book.” You can also drop the topic は if it’s clear: “猫より犬のほうが大きいです.” This is a natural comparison style. Practice by comparing two simple things: りんごとみかん, バスと電車, 日本とアメリカ. Use より to show which is bigger, faster, or cheaper.
