Comparison Sentences
Practice Nepali comparisons for size, speed, quantity, and quality.
How Do Comparisons Work in Nepali?
In Nepali, comparison sentences use the postposition भन्दा (bhanda), which means “than”. Unlike English where the adjective changes (big → bigger), Nepali adjectives stay the same - the comparison word भन्दा does all the heavy lifting.
This page covers comparisons across four categories: size, speed, quantity, and quality. Each sentence includes Devanagari script, romanized Nepali, and an English translation so children can compare how both languages express the same idea. Once comfortable with comparisons, try forming complete sentences with our basic sentences collection.

How to Teach Comparisons in Nepali
- Start with real objects. Place a big and small ball side by side and say 'यो भन्दा ठूलो' (yo bhanda thulo). Tangible examples stick better than abstract sentences.
- Master the भन्दा (bhanda) pattern first. Once children understand 'X भन्दा Y adjective', they can create unlimited comparison sentences on their own.
- Connect to basic sentences. Comparisons build on simple sentence patterns - make sure foundational sentences are comfortable first. Practice Basic Sentences →
- Practice with vocabulary words. Use known words from vocabulary categories (animals, fruits, body parts) to create comparison sentences. Browse Vocabulary →
- Draw and compare. Ask children to draw two objects and write a comparison sentence about them in both Nepali and English. This combines writing, vocabulary, and grammar practice.
