HSK 2 Comparison
更 / 还
Even more with 更 and 还
Structure 更 / 还 + adjective
更 (gèng) means "even more" and reinforces a comparison already taken for granted: 我高,他更高 ("I’m tall; he’s even taller"). It can pair with 比: 他比我更高. 还 (hái) before an adjective has a similar, often more expressive, nuance. Unlike 很, these really do mean "more".
Examples
- 这个更好。
This one is even better.
- 他比我更忙。
He’s even busier than me.
- 明天会更冷。
It will be even colder tomorrow.
