When to use A比B更... and A比B还... for “Even More … Than”
In a plain 比 sentence, A比B冷 just says A is colder than B. Put 更 (gèng) or 还 (hái) before the adjective and the meaning becomes “even colder”: 今天比昨天更冷 “Today is even colder than yesterday,” which tells you yesterday was already cold. 更 is the neutral, all-purpose choice. 还 sounds more spoken and adds surprise or emphasis, often because the result is unexpected: 弟弟才十二岁，可是比爸爸还高 “My brother is only twelve, but he’s even taller than Dad.” Words like 很, 非常 or 太 cannot be used in this slot.
弟弟才十二岁，可是比爸爸还高。
My little brother is only twelve, but he’s even taller than Dad.

Häufige Stolperfallen
- Don’t use 很, 非常 or 太 after 比 B: say 比昨天更冷, not 比昨天很冷.
- 更 and 还 go before the adjective, after B: 比他还高.
- 更 and 还 suggest B already has the quality: 比他还高 implies he is tall too.
