Getting More and More

Level 5

Sve je bolje means "it keeps getting better". Sve više učim means "I study more and more".

How It Works

ComparativeWith sve
boljeSve je bolje.
višeSve više učim.
dužiDani su sve duži.
češćeSve češće pada kiša.

The comparative is the same one you use in a normal comparison. The adjective still agrees with its noun: Dani su sve duži, Noć je sve kraća.

The word sve does not change here. It looks like the plural of sav (all), but here it is a fixed word. Context makes it clear.

You can use it with manje and više for amounts: Sve manje pada snijeg u Sarajevu. It gives the idea of a slow, steady change.
