Comparing How Actions Happen

Level 3

Πιο can compare an adverb, while some common adverbs have one-word comparatives.

How It Works

Πιο can compare an adverb, while some common adverbs have one-word comparatives.

Unlike an agreeing adjective, an adverb stays unchanged for the subject's gender or number. Από can introduce the comparison standard, and context can leave that standard unspoken.
