Easy Comparisons: Въішє and Неже/Отъ
To make simple comparisons meaning 'more than' or 'taller/higher than', you often use a comparative adjective (like 'лѣ́пшии' - better, 'бо́лїи' - bigger) followed by the word неже or отъ (than). The word въішє is the comparative adverb of высо́къ (tall/high) and means 'higher' or 'taller'.
- Using неже: Моѧ́ кни́га є҆́сть ціка́вѣиши неже твоѧ́ (My book is more interesting than yours). То́й є҆́сть ста́рѣиши неже а҆́зъ (He is older than me).
- Using отъ: Моѧ́ кни́га є҆́сть ціка́вѣиши отъ твоеѧ̀ (My book is more interesting than yours). То́й є҆́сть ста́рѣиши отъ мене́ (He is older than me).
- Using въішє: Та̀ гора̀ є҆́сть въішє, нежѐ тъ хъ́лмъ (That mountain is higher than that hill). То́й скочи́ въішє за но́рмꙋ (He jumped higher than the norm).
