You may omit "daha" in some sentences, if not all, since "-den/-dan" also gives the meaning of "daha". In this sentence, I would use "daha", to make it clearer; but also without it, the sentence still gives the meaning. Some examples:
"O benden (daha) güzel."
"Sen ondan (daha) çalışkansın."
Çok teşekkür ederim! :-) Is there a particular rule that explains when we should use 'daha' and when we can omit it?
Rica ederim :)
Well, I don't remember a rule, and in all the examples I can think of; yes you can omit it. It is optional.
I would be glad, if Alex or Selcen could confirm me though :)
((Ben senden daha mutsuzum?????)) İs it correct arkadaşlar? Any body can help me please?
Based on a previous exercise and out of curiosity, I translated this as, "Ben senden üzgündüm." It was accepted. So, can I always replace "daha" plus an adjective with just that adjective in locative form? Which is more common? More formal?
Hello MetroWestJP
I cannot confirm your answer but I do believe you!
"Senden daha üzgünüm" was accepted for me.
"Ben senden üzgünüm" was accepted for you.
Which is more common? More formal?
Personal opinion only; I prefer to omit the pronoun.
This is my preferred choice;
"Senden daha üzgünüm."
Example;
Ben senden öncede yaşıyordum. Senden sonrada yaşarım. Hic düşünme tüm dünyayı, tek başıma savaşırım.
A ^ & lingot too.
Thank you.
"Sadder" sounds weird for me. I would rather say "I am more sad than you"
It must vary by dialect. Where I live, "sadder" is the first choice and "more sad" is only used for emphasis.

Why not ucuzum
Ucuzum. "I am cheap."
Ucuz (adjective) "cheap" "inexpensive."
"I am sadder than you." Translation: Ben senden daha üzgünüm.

Senden daha üzgünüm.
