Comparatives allow you to compare two things — saying something is "more," "less," or "as much as" something else. In Italian, comparisons are formed with specific structures, and one of the trickiest aspects is knowing when to use di versus che to connect the two things being compared.
To say something is "more" or "-er" than something else, use più (more) with either di or che:
Use di when comparing two different nouns or pronouns with respect to the same quality:
| Italian | English |
|---|---|
| Marco è più alto di Luca. | Marco is taller than Luca. |
| Roma è più grande di Firenze. | Rome is bigger than Florence. |
| Questo libro è più interessante del film. | This book is more interesting than the film. |
| Lei è più intelligente di me. | She is more intelligent than me. |
| Il treno è **più veloce dell'**autobus. | The train is faster than the bus. |
