Comparatives that express majority (comparativi di maggioranza) work to convey that something/someone is greater, bigger, or more than something/someone else.

There are two standard comparativi di maggioranza: più … di and più … che.

  1. Comparing two things with a single quality: più … di


    2. We use più … di when two terms or things are being compared with respect to one quality. For example:

    Andrea è più bello di Dario.
    Andrea is more handsome than Dario.

    (Andrea and Dario are the two terms (or people) being compared, while the one quality is bello.)
