Sometimes you've got an apple in one hand and an orange in the other. It's time to compare the two! 

In Mandarin Chinese, 比较 (bǐ jiào) literally means "compare".

You can use the sentence structure of: 

Object A + 比 (bǐ) + Object B + adjective  

For example: "A 比 (bǐ) + B + 高 (gāo) means “A is taller than B.”
高 (gāo) = tall

德国人较高中国人.
Dé guó rén jiào gāo zhōng guó rén.
German people are taller than Chinese people.

Now you're ready to go out there and compare apples and oranges!
