English A1 Grammar & Vocabulary #117
Topic: Adjectives with -er for comparing two things

Lesson overview:
Today you learn a very useful A1 grammar pattern: use an adjective with -er + than to compare two people or things. Example: taller than, colder than, faster than. This lesson is about simple comparison, not superlatives.

Quick review from recent lessons:
- We used can / can't for ability and preference.
- We learned big, small, long, short, round.
- Now we compare two things with adjectives like taller, colder, faster.

5 words:
1) taller = more tall
2) colder = more cold
3) faster = more fast
4) cheaper = less expensive
5) easier = more easy

5 word readings:
1) taller → TAW-ler
2) colder → KOHL-der
3) faster → FAH-ster
4) cheaper → CHEE-per
5) easier → EE-zee-er

5 example sentences:
1) Anna is taller than Ben.
Reading: AN-na iz TAW-ler than Ben.
2) Today is colder than yesterday.
Reading: toh-DAY iz KOHL-der than YES-ter-day.
3) The blue car is faster than the red car.
Reading: the bloo kar iz FAH-ster than the red kar.
4) This shirt is cheaper than that shirt.
Reading: this shert iz CHEE-per than that shert.
5) This game is easier than the last one.
Reading: this gaym iz EE-zee-er than the last wun.

Usage notes:
- Add -er to many short adjectives: tall → taller, cold → colder, fast → faster.
- Use than after the comparison.
- Some adjectives change spelling: big → bigger, hot → hotter, easy → easier.
- Use this pattern for two things only.

Mini practice:
1) Complete: My bag is ____ than yours. (light)
2) Complete: Winter is ____ than spring. (cold)
3) Complete: This road is ____ than the other road. (short)
4) Complete: Her room is ____ than my room. (clean)
5) Make a sentence with faster.

Answer key:
1) lighter
2) colder
3) shorter
4) cleaner
5) Example: My bike is faster than your bike.

Reply instruction:
Reply with your answers for the mini practice. If you want, also make one new sentence using taller, cheaper, or easier.

Ders özeti:
Bu derste İngilizcede iki şeyi karşılaştırmayı öğreniyorsun. A1 seviyesinde en temel yapı şudur: sıfat + -er + than. Örnek: taller than, colder than, faster than. Yani “daha …” anlamı verir. Bu ders, tek bir şeyin “en” olduğu superlative yapı değildir; sadece iki şey arasında karşılaştırma yapar.

Kelime kelime açıklama:
- taller (TAW-ler) = daha uzun
- colder (KOHL-der) = daha soğuk
- faster (FAH-ster) = daha hızlı
- cheaper (CHEE-per) = daha ucuz
- easier (EE-zee-er) = daha kolay

Okunuş notu:
Okunuşlar yaklaşık verilmiştir. İngilizcede vurgu ve sesler biraz değişebilir, ama başlangıç için bu okumalar yeterlidir.

Cümle cümle açıklama:
1) Anna is taller than Ben.
Okunuş: AN-na iz TAW-ler than Ben.
Anlamı: Anna, Ben’den daha uzun.
Kullanım: iki kişi boy açısından karşılaştırılıyor.

2) Today is colder than yesterday.
Okunuş: toh-DAY iz KOHL-der than YES-ter-day.

Kullanım: hava ve sıcaklık için kullanılır.

Okunuş: this gaym iz EE-zee-er than the last wun.

Doğal kullanım notları:
- -er ekini kısa sıfatlara ekleriz: tall → taller, fast → faster.
- Karşılaştırmadan sonra than gelir.
- Bazı kelimelerde yazım değişir: easy → easier, hot → hotter, big → bigger.
- Bu yapı iki şey için kullanılır. Üç veya daha fazla şey için başka yapı gerekir.

Sık hata notları:
- than kelimesini unutma.
- “more taller” gibi çift karşılaştırma yapma. Doğru: taller.
- easy için easier kullanılır, easyer değil.

Riassunto della lezione:
Oggi impari una struttura A1 molto utile per confrontare due persone o due cose: aggettivo + -er + than. Esempi: taller than, colder than, faster than. Significa “più …”. Non è il superlativo, ma un confronto tra due elementi.

Spiegazione parola per parola:
- taller (TAW-ler) = più alto / più grande
- colder (KOHL-der) = più freddo
- faster (FAH-ster) = più veloce
- cheaper (CHEE-per) = più economico / più conveniente
- easier (EE-zee-er) = più facile

Pronuncia:
La pronuncia è approssimativa e pensata per principianti.
