ilgesnis

Ilgesnis is a Latvian word that translates to "longer" in English. It is the comparative form of the adjective "ilgs," meaning "long." The word is used to compare the length of two or more objects, durations, or distances. For example, "šis ceļš ir ilgesnis nekā tas" means "this road is longer than that one."
