As you say in English: "apples and oranges". In life, we are constantly comparing things to one another. We have to describe things based on their appearance and characteristics.

In today's lesson, Teacher Helena helps an online student understand a common word used for comparing things: "比 (bǐ)"

"比 (bǐ)" is one of the most common words when comparing things in Chinese. You can use "比 (bǐ)" in so many situations. "比 (bǐ)" has similarities to the English. Some examples and practice are necessary to understand the use of "比 (bǐ)" in its sentence structure.
_______________________

The structure most commonly used is:

Noun A + 比 (bǐ) + Noun B + adjective

Tā bǐ wǒ gāo.
他 比 我 高 .
He's taller than me.
