HSK 4 Comparison

A 不如 B

Not as good as with 不如

Structure A + 不如 + B (+ adjective)

不如 (bùrú) compares by saying A is INFERIOR to B: A 不如 B = "A is not as good as B / B is better". 我的中文不如他 = "my Chinese isn’t as good as his". With an adjective: 坐车不如走路快 = "going by car isn’t as fast as walking". It’s another negative comparison, alongside 没有.

Examples

  • 我wǒ的de中zhōng文wén不bù如rú他tā。

    My Chinese isn’t as good as his.

  • 坐zuò车chē不bù如rú走zǒu路lù快kuài。

    Going by car isn’t as fast as walking.

  • 这zhè个ge不bù如rú那nà个ge好hǎo。

    This one isn’t as good as that one.

Levels are indicative: they follow the standard Chinese Grammar Wiki (AllSet Learning) progression, not an official HSK 3.0 mapping. We never assign levels by eye.
