In Indonesian equatives are formed by using se-, comparatives are formed by using lebih + adjective and superlatives are formed by using ter- or paling + adjective.
The ter- forms are more formal, but tend to be restricted to short adjectives. So for sederhana (simple) the form tersederhana is not very common.
“As” in the comparative is expressed by daripada, colloquially also dari.
Translate the following sentences. If it is a question, answer it.
Here are some facts. Make comparative statements (e.g. as old as, not as old as, older than, the oldest)
