"Aamir is taller than you."

Translation: आमिर तुमसे ज़्यादा लंबा है।

[Thorsten781499]

I noticed that आमिर तुझसे लंबा है is also possible. How is the meaning changed if I leave out the ज़्यादा ?

[DevendraPaliwal]

Meaning will be same in both cases.

[lukeapprend]

When I lived in India, in using comparatives with से, people would just drop the ज़्यादा. For instance: आमिर तुमसे लंबा है। Is this also grammatically correct?

[DevendraPaliwal]

Yes, it's also correct.

[guigarfr]

और लम्बा ≠ ज़्यादा लंबा?

[zeebo7]

और doesn't work here, it can be used to mean 'more', as in मेरे पास और पैसा है (I have MORE money). But when comparing two things it's ज़्यादा.

[guigarfr]

Thanks zeebo7!

[LinguisticBoi]

So is "aur" more like comparing quantifiable things as opposed to qualities then?

[benros1]

Why आपको is not accepted?

[Signorellos]

you need से for comparison not को

[LinguisticBoi]
