In previous lesson, we introduced the usage of adjectives in Chinese. In this lesson, we’ll explore further into the usage of adjectives in Chinese. Especially how to use comparison of adjectives in Chinese.

You might still remember the sentence pattern we used in the first example in last lesson (Being a good learner of JLC you should remember. :-) There was a character 比(bǐ) being used to compare between “big hand” and “small hand”. If you were a little confused on that sentence, you should be clear after this lesson, I hope.

Before we get into the core content of this lesson, let’s learn some new words first:

tóu fa	cóng	gèng
头发 (hair)	从 (from)	更 (more)
1. L9-tou-fa	2. L9-cong	3. L9-geng
zuì	ná chū	hé zi
最 (most)	拿出 (take out)	盒子 (box)
4. L9-zui	5. L9-na-chu	6. L9-he-zi
gè zi
个子 (human height)
7. L9-ge-zi

As usual, please use the following estroke tool to help you practice the writing of the words. Most importantly, try to remember the look of the words. So you can recognize them in your Chinese reading, and pinpoint them out when typing.
