From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. In grammar, the comparative is the form of an adjective or adverb which denotes the degree or grade by which a person, thing, or other entity has a property or quality greater or less in extent than that of another, and is used in this context with a subordinating conjunction, such as than, as...as, etc. StructureThe structure of a comparative in English consists normally of the positive form of the adjective or adverb, plus the suffix -er, or (in the case of polysyllabic words borrowed from foreign languages) the modifier "more" (or "less"/ "fewer") before the adjective or adverb. The form is usually completed by "than" and the noun which is being compared, e.g. "he is taller than his father is", or "the village is less picturesque than the town nearby". "Than" is used as a subordinating conjunction to introduce the second element of a comparative sentence while the first element expresses the difference ("our new house is larger than the old one"). There is less water in Saudi Arabia than there is in the United States; but however, there are fewer people in Canada than there are in California.

Q. What is the difference between absolute advantage and comparative advantage? Asked by Betty - Mon May 25 17:52:12 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. Absolute advantage is when one party can produce more than another party. For example, if Japan can produce 10 cars per hour and the US can only produce 5, Japan has the absolute advantage. Comparative advantage is when one party can produce something at a lower opportunity cost - for example, Japan produces 10 cars an hour but sacrifices the manpower that could otherwise be used to make 20 refrigerators in that same hour. The US only produces 5 cars per hour and gives up the manpower that could otherwise be used to produce 5 fridges per hour. In that case for every car Japan makes they "give up" 2 fridges, but for every car the US makes they only "give up" one fridge. Therefore they have the comparative advantage.
