Le vin
How to compare things and express a preference
Moi, je préfère le Gigondas
Celui-ci me va bien
Il est beaucoup plus doux
To compare two things, use plus (more) or moins (less, not as). They are used with virtually all adjectives, even though the English translation often has an "-er" instead of "more".
Plus doux
sweeter
Il est plus jeune
he's younger
Il est moins original
it's less original
One common exception is meilleur, which means "better"
Elle est carrément meilleure
she's clearly better
To say 'than', use que:
Le deuxième est plus doux que le premier
The second one is sweeter than the first.
To avoid having to repeat a masculine noun like le vin, you can use celui-ci (this one) or ³¦±ð±ô³Ü¾±-±ôà (that one). The feminine equivalents are celle-ci and ³¦±ð±ô±ô±ð-±ôà . These (ones) and those (ones) are ceux-ci and ³¦±ð³Ü³æ-±ôà for masculines and celles-ci and ³¦±ð±ô±ô±ð²õ-±ôà for feminines.
