Here we will explain the preference adjective:
When u compare between two things saying for example I am stronger than u:
Strong= قوى
أنا أقوى منك
I am stronger than u
ana aqwa minka
Tall= طويل
انا أطول من أختى
I am taller than my sister
ana atwal min ukhti
Short= قصير
إيمان أقصر من عبد الله
Eman is shorter than Abdullah
Eman aqsar min Abdullah
Old = كبير
أحمد أكبر من على
Ahmed is older than Ali
Ahmed akbar min Ali
أنا أكبر منك
Ana akbar minka
I am older than you
Large = كبير
هذا البناء أكبر من بيتى
This building is larger than my house
Hadhal bena-a akbar min bayti
To make this simple, u take the adjective and change it to the sound of أفعل afa`al and the rule is called أفعل تفضيل
afa`al tafdeel
To make sure u understood this rule, pls give me the preference adjectives of:
جميل، صغير، قبيح، واسع[/b:e08422620b][/size:e08422620b]
