View movie on Comparitives
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!
