Lebih + adjective + daripada<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\u201c<\/strong>Lebih<\/strong>\u201d means more, over.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201clebih murah daripada hotel-hotel lainnya<\/strong>\u201d \u2013 \u201ccheaper than other hotels\u201d. This phrase shows the way to compare adjectives in Indonesian. Another example is \u201cRumah saya lebih jauh dari stasiun kereta api daripada rumah Ibu saya<\/strong>\u201d\u2014\u201cMy house is farther from train statiun than my mother’s.\u201d<\/p>\n

(Note that the first \u201cdari<\/strong>\u201dmeans \u201cfrom<\/strong>\u201d in the example, while the second \u201cdaripada<\/strong>\u201d corresponds to English \u201cthan<\/strong>\u201d).<\/p>\n

Examples:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hotel itu lebih<\/strong> dekat ke stasiun kareta api\u00a0daripada<\/strong> ke Bandar udara.<\/td>\nThat hotel is closer to the train station than to the airport.<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Lebih<\/strong> can be preceded by the word jauh<\/strong> (far) to emphasize a comparison.<\/p>\n

Examples:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Buah ini jauh<\/strong> lebih<\/strong> mahal daripada<\/strong> buah itu.<\/td>\nThese fruits are far more expensive than those fruits.<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Kurang<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \u201cKurang<\/strong> \u201cmeans less, lacking, insufficient or not enough.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    In bargaining, the phrase \u201cboleh kurang<\/strong>?\u201d means \u201ccould you lower the price<\/strong>?\u201d<\/p>\n

    However, \u201csaya kurang<\/strong> mengerti\u201d means \u201cI don\u2019t understand<\/strong>\u201d which also means \u201csaya tidak <\/strong>mengerti\u201d.<\/p>\n

    Examples:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
    Nasi goreng ini\u00a0 ini kurang<\/strong>\u00a0pedas.<\/td>\nThis friend rice is not hot spicy enough.<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    Barbeque itu kurang<\/strong> enak.<\/td>\nThat barbeque is not delicious (enough).<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
      \n
    1. Kurang-lebih<\/strong> means more or less. People use \u201ckurang-lebih<\/strong>\u201d or \u201ckira-kira<\/strong>\u201d to tell an approximate number or quantity.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Se + adjective<\/strong><\/p>\n

      The English comparison with \u201cas+ adjective +as\u201d or \u201cthe same as + adjective\u201d is expressed either by\u00a0 \u201cse + <\/strong>adjective \u201d or \u201csama <\/strong>+ adjective (nya) dengan \u2026.<\/strong>\u201d in Indonesian. When sama<\/strong> is used, the adjective must be followed by dengan <\/strong>(with) or by \u2013nya<\/strong> and then followed by dengan<\/strong> (with).<\/p>\n

      Examples:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
      Sepatu saya\u00a0semahal<\/strong> sepatu adik perempua saya.<\/p>\n

      Sepatu saya\u00a0sama mahal (nya)<\/strong> dengan<\/strong> sepau ibu saya.<\/td>\n

      		Bambang is as clever as Budi.<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

      To say \u201cnot the same as\u201d or \u201cnot as\u2026as\u201d, simply adds tidak, <\/strong>meaning \u201cno\u201d<\/strong> before \u201cse-\u201c<\/strong>or \u201csama\u201d<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

      Examples:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
      Kakak laki-laki Anda tidak setinggi<\/strong> Anda.<\/p>\n

      Kakak laki-laki Anda tidak sama tinggi (nya)<\/strong> dengan<\/strong> Anda.<\/td>\n

      		Your older brother is not as tall as you.<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

      		State of Montana is not as big as State of Alaska.<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

      Paling<\/h4>\n

      \u201cPaling\/ter- <\/strong>+ adjective\u201d means the most or the superlative. To use paling\/ter simply, place paling <\/strong>\u201cthe most\u201d or ter<\/strong>-prefix before the adjective.Paling\/ter- + adjective<\/strong><\/p>\n
