"Cheap food is hotter than expensive food."

Translation: 싼 음식은 비싼 음식보다 뜨겁습니다.

[LiKenun]

싼 음식은 비싼 음식보다 뜨겁습니다

The pattern here is:

X은 Y보다 *Aㅂ니다*

X is more A than Y.

Another example (guess where it is from):

아침보다 더 눈부신
more dazzling than the morning

Thanks

[byimbi]

would it still be correct to switch the places of X은 and Y보다 in the sentence?

[LiKenun]

“Expensive food is hotter than cheap food”?

Totally different sentence…

[byimbi]

i meant like "Y보다 X은 Aㅂ니다"?

[WilbyWillBe]

In the explanation of this lesson they said this is fine as long as X is marked with 가/이, like "Y보다 X가/이 Aㅂ니다"

[grlpower]

I put, "싼 음식은 비싼 음식보다 뜨거워요." but it marked it as incorrect? I'm not sure what the difference is here, if someone would care to explain it would be very appreciated :/

[aileeNfanboy]

There isn't, report it

[Anastasia_Vale26]

Doesn't it literally mean something like
"Different from expensive food cheap food is hot"
And not "hotter" since there is no 더 before 뜨겁습니다?

[PanpanXo]

Actually this is a good question. Is it just some kind of rule, that it always means "more than" if you don't put 덜 before the verb?

[aileeNfanboy]

"싼 음식은 비싼 음식보다 뜨거워요" should be accepted

[Felixfrckls]

Is it wrong to add 더 before 뜨겁습니다? I thought that was how you say "hottER"

[beatrzcastro]

I’m so confused? Here I’m told that I HAVE to use “은” but for “hot tea is cheaper than cold tea” I HAVE to use “가”?

[rosssville]

이게 무슨 말일까요??

[beatrzcastro]

this is one of the many sentences that just randomly marks 해요체 as incorrect :/

[leahalcohol]

Can anyone explain the difference between using 은/는 and 이/가 particles when using -보다? The exercise comparing hot tea and cold tea requires 이/가 particles while this exercise comparing expensive food and cheap food requires 은/는 particles, I can't seem to find a rule to know which particles to use when.
