Another way you can create the meaning of “better” is by using the adjective 낫다. 낫다 is very much like 좋다, but it is more naturally used when a specified comparison is being made. Therefore, it is common to see 낫다 used in sentences with \~보다. For example:

In Korean, instead of mucking (I said “mucking”) around with different forms like in English, all you need to do is add one word: 가장
|

|

- 예쁘다 = pretty
|

- 가장 예쁘다 = Prettiest

You can then put these into sentences just like you would normal adjectives:

- 저의 여자 친구는 한국에서 가장 예쁜 여자예요 <AudioButton src="https://www.howtostudykorean.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/Lesson19-32.mp3" /> = <span class="md spoiler">My girlfriend is the prettiest girl in Korea</span>

You can’t really use 가장 with verbs unless there is also an adverb included within the sentence. For example, you can’t say this:

You can’t really use 가장 with verbs unless there is also <span class="md spoiler">an adverb</span> included within the sentence. For example, you can’t say this:

- 나는 가장 달려 = I run… most?… doesn’t make sense
|
||||
- ~~나는 가장 달려~~ = I run… most?… doesn’t make sense
|

|

In these cases, you need to add an adverb to the sentence:

To this point, you haven’t learned how to add this extra dimension to your sentences with verbs. This concept is introduced in [Lesson 26](https://www.howtostudykorean.com/unit-2-lower-intermediate-korean-grammar/unit-2-lessons-26-33/lesson-26/ "Lesson 26: ~는 것 Describing Nouns with Verbs"). That being said, it is essentially the same as making this change to adjectives:
|

|

- 가족은 가장 중요해요 = Family is the most important

- 가족이 가장 중요한 것이에요 = Family is the most important thing
