Learning grammar is one of the most difficult things for Korean language learners. On this blog, we will try to help you learn Korean grammar in the quickest and easiest way possible. This blog will be helpful for those who are studying the Korean language and want to improve their grammar skills.

Today, we’ll look at how to form sentences using the grammar pattern “Noun + 보다”, along with some example sentences.

Let's look at an example: 어제보다 오늘 더 더워요.

Now let's break down the words one by one:

• 어제 – yesterday

• 보다 – in comparison to / than

• 오늘 – today

• 더 – more

• 더워요 – (it is) hot

So the sentence translates to: “Today is hotter than yesterday.”

You can also say 어제보다 오늘 더워요 without 더, and it will still mean the same. However, adding 더 emphasizes the comparison.

Since we are using 보다 (“than”) and 더 (“more”), we are clearly talking about the comparative degree.

• 언니보다 내가 더 그림을 잘 그려.
