Easy Comparisons: Višje and Kot/Od
To make simple comparisons meaning 'more than' or 'taller/higher than', you often use a comparative adjective (like 'boljši' - better, 'večji' - bigger) followed by the word kot or od (than). The word višje generally means 'higher' or 'above' and can be used when comparing physical height or level, or sometimes more abstractly. The standard comparative adjective for 'visok' (tall/high) is 'višji'.
