"Twój żółw jest młodszy niż mój krab."

Translation: Your turtle is younger than my crab.

[Alex_Kinsey]

One of my favourite sentences :D

[Jack.Elliot]

zolw has both as turtle and tortoise in your hints

would this be correct advice?

[Jellei]

Yes. Actually there was a typo in the word "tortoise" in Incubator, so I fixed it now.

In everyday language, we do not differentiate between a turtle and a tortoise. If you need to be a bit more specific, then turtle is usually "żółw morski" (sea turtle) or sometimes "żółw wodny" (water turtle), while tortoise is "żółw lądowy" (land turtle).

[Jack.Elliot]

I thought as much

If I see anything else

I will let you know

all the best

That's probably for the best since England, the U.S. and Australia all have slightly different meanings for the words tortoise, turtle and terrapin.

I am going to try and use this next week when I visit Kęty.
I suspect I will have to provide both animals if I am to provide a context in which I can be understood.

Is there a difference between niż and ode in terms of usage, or are they interchangeable when used with a comparative?

[alik1989]

Niź appears to be more versatile. You can't use od to compare verbs and adverbs, but you can use niź.

Examples:

• 1) Verbs: Wolę pływać niż biegać.
• 2) Adverbs: Dziś jest ciepłej niż wczoraj.

[Jellei]

Small typo, "cieplej" :)
