EN: comparative
The official term for what your parents do when they compare you to your overachiever cousin. "Pahambing" is the grammar-nerd word for comparison. "Mas matangkad" (taller), "di-gaanong masarap" (not as delicious)—these are all examples of the pahambing degree. It's the language of 'which is which' and 'who is better', a national pastime both in grammar class and at family reunions.
A grammatical term for the comparative degree of adjectives and adverbs. The other degrees are 'Lantay' (Positive) and 'Pasukdol' (Superlative).
