"His food is sweeter than mine"

Translation: Chakula chake ni kitamu zaidi ya changu

[Catriona28475]

It marked "kuliko ya" as wrong, but I don't see why.

if you use 'kuliko', it would just be 'chakula chake ni kitamu kuliko changu', since 'kuliko' means '(more) than' so the '-a' is unnecessary

Thanks, machieng! I was confused because other questions gave the correct answer as "zaidi ya", so I put "ya" on "kuliko" as well.

Is there any difference in meaning between "zaidi ya" and "kuliko"? (Is it like in English: "sweeter" vs "more sweet"?)

You're welcome:)

They mean the same, but 'kuliko' is more commonly used i think because it's just less of a mouthful
