I prefer eating in because it's healthier.
Eating in because it's cheaper!
Eating out is better, but it's more expensive.
Bolam

Sian
Yes, and there are some very simple rules to help you. So first let's look at adjectives with one syllable, like 'cheap'.
Bolam
λ€ cheap μ λ ΄ν μ΄μ£ . μ λͺ¨μμ΄ νλμΈ νμ©μ¬μ λΉκ΅κΈμ λ§λλ λ² λͺ¨λ κΈ°μ΅νμλμ? λ€μ ν λ² μ λ€μ΄λ³΄μΈμ.
Eating in because it's cheaper!
Sian
Ok, so we add the letters 'e r' to a one-syllable adjective. So 'cheap' becomes 'cheaper'.
Bolam
μ μ΄ λ°©λ²μΌλ‘ λ€λ₯Έ νμ©μ¬λ₯Ό λΉκ΅κΈμΌλ‘ λ§λλ κ²λ κ°λ₯ν©λλ€. λ§μ§λ§μ erλ§ λΆμ¬μ£Όλ©΄ λμ£ .
Sian
So cold becomes 'colder', and short becomes 'shorter'. Now, let's look at 2 syllable adjectives that end with the letter 'y'. Like 'healthy'.
Bolam
λ€ healthyλ 건κ°ν μ΄μ£ . λΉκ΅κΈ μ΄λ»κ² λ§λ€μμ£ ? λ€μ ν λ² λ€μ΄λ³Όκ²μ.
I prefer eating in because it's healthier.
Sian
So again we add 'er', but this time you have to check the spelling.
Bolam
μ€ν λ§μ μ£ΌμνμΈμ. Y λ₯Ό μμ κ³ ierμ λΆμ¬μ€λλ€.
Sian
And we do this with other adjectives ending in 'y'. So pretty becomes 'prettier' – with 'i e r' at the end.
Now, can you remember what happens with other adjectives that are longer than one syllable – for example 'expensive'? Let's listen again to check.
It's more expensive.
Bolam
λͺ¨μμ΄ λκ° μ΄μμ νμ©μ¬μ κ²½μ°λ νμ©μ¬ μμ moreλ₯Ό λΆμ¬μ£Όλ©΄ λκ³ μ.
Sian
So 'interesting' becomes 'more interesting' and 'difficult' becomes 'more difficult'. Easy, right? But careful because there are some exceptions!
Bolam
λ€. Exception μμΈλΌλ λ»μ
λλ€. μλ₯Ό λ€μ΄ 무μμ΄ ‘λ μ’λ€’λΌκ³ λ§ν λ goodλ€μ erμ λΆμ¬μ gooderλΌκ³ λ§νμ§ μμ£ ? λλΌκ³ νλμ§ κΈ°μ΅νμλμ? λ€μ ν λ² λ€μ΄λ³Όκ²μ.
Eating out is better.
Sian
So, if we want to say that something is 'more good' we say 'it's better'. And if we want to say that something is 'more bad', we use 'it's worse'.
Let's practise those. Repeat after me:
better
worse
