Usuário(a):Prokisch/Testes
To express "even more," (as in "even more expensive," "even more ridiculous," "even more badass"), you can use 更 (gèng). 更 (gèng) generally comes before adjectives.
Basic Usage
[editar | editar código-fonte]Structure
[editar | editar código-fonte]The pattern in Chinese is simple:
更 + adj.
Note that this pattern is not simply a way of adding "-er" to an adjective or a substitute for 比 (bǐ) comparisons. In each case, you're adding "even more" to an existing considerable amount, as in, "I'm already rich, but I want to be even richer."
Examples
[editar | editar código-fonte]- 这 两个 银行 哪 个 更 近 ?There two banks,which one is closer?
- 我 想 找 一 个 更 有钱 的 男朋友。 It is implied that my boyfriend now is already rich, but I want to rent an even richer apartment.I want to find a richer boyfriend.

Structure with 比
[editar | editar código-fonte]While 更 (gèng) is not a substitute for 比 (bǐ) (the classic comparison word), the two can be used together.
Structure
[editar | editar código-fonte]A 比 B + 更 + adj.
This expresses that "A is even more Adj. than B."
