Comparison

In Japanese, when making a comparison, the adjective keeps its original form. There is no alteration, as in "great/greater." The comparison is expressed by adding something to the noun.

AのほうがBより(property)。　　A is more (property) than B.

エルビス・プレスリーのほうがフランク・シナトラよりかっこいいです。

Elvis Presley is more hip than Frank Sinatra.

You can ask for another person's opinion on two things in comparitive terms:

AとBとどっちのほうが　(property)。　　Between A and B, which is more (property)?

バスとでんしゃとどっちのほうがやすいですか。

Which is cheaper, going by bus or by train?

When comparing three or more items, the degree qualifier いちばん is used.

[(class of items) の中で] A がいちばん　(property).

A is the most (property) [among (a class of items)]

やきそばとうどんとごはんのなかで、なにがいちばんすきですか。

Between yakisoba, udon, and rice, which do you like the best?
