elatiivvõrra

Elatiivvõrra is a term used in Estonian grammar to describe a specific type of comparison. It is a form of comparison that is used to compare two or more things by indicating that one thing is more or less than another in a certain respect. This type of comparison is often used to express a relationship between two things that are not directly comparable, but can be compared by means of a third element.

In Estonian, elatiivvõrra is formed by using the preposition "kui" followed by the genitive case of the noun being compared. For example, "See auto on kiirem kui teine auto" translates to "This car is faster than the other car." In this sentence, "kui teine auto" is the elatiivvõrra form, indicating that the speed of the first car is being compared to the speed of the second car.

Elatiivvõrra is often used in everyday language to express comparisons and relationships between things. It is a useful tool for expressing relative differences between things that are not directly comparable. However, it is important to use elatiivvõrra correctly, as incorrect usage can lead to confusion or misunderstandings.
