Comparison of Spanish adjectives

To express that two persons or objects possess characteristics in the same degree, we use the Spanish term:

“tan … como” (as … as)

💡 For example:

El chico es tan alto como la chica. – The boy is as tall as the girl.
La chica es tan alta como el chico. – The girl is as tall as the boy.
Madrid es tan bonita como Barcelona. – Madrid is as beautiful as Barcelona.

Comparative degree of Spanish adjectives

If you want to make a comparison in Spanish, you first have to make an essential decision:
The trait you want to talk about – is it stronger or weaker?

Strengthening:
más (more) + adjective + que (than)

Weakening:
menos (less) + adjective + que (than)

💡 For example:

Madrid es más bonita que Barcelona. – Madrid is more beautiful than Barcelona.
Barcelona es menos bonita que Madrid. – Barcelona is less beautiful than Madrid.

Please note:
Some Spanish adjectives have irregular comparative degrees.
Please memorize them.

💡 For example:

bueno – good → mejor – better
malo – bad → peor – worse
grande – tall, old → mayor – taller, elder
pequeño – small, young → menor – smaller, younger
alto – high → superior – higher
bajo – low → inferior – lower
