In English, we might say that someone is younger or that a dish is more delicious. To say the same thing in Chinese, just add 比较 (bǐjiào, more) before the adjective.
这里的菜比较好吃。
Zhèlǐ de cài bǐjiào hào chī.
The dishes here are more delicious.
比较年轻的是我的老师。
Bǐjiào niánqīng de shì wǒ de lǎoshī.
The younger one is my teacher.
那里的冬天比较冷。
Nàlǐ de dōngtiān bǐjiào lěng.
The winter there is colder.
In Chinese, the verb 穿 is often used to talk about clothing, like shirts, dresses, or shoes. For example, 我喜欢穿白色的裙子. To talk about wearing accessories, like watches, glasses, or hats, you’ll need to use 戴 (dài, to wear).
