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
- 예쁘다 = <span class="md spoiler">pretty</span>
- 가장 예쁘다 = <span class="md spoiler">Prettiest</span>

A synonym of “가장” is “제일,” which is often used in speech.

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

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:
- 나는 가장 빨리 달려 <AudioButton src="https://www.howtostudykorean.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/Lesson19-34.mp3" /> = <span class="md spoiler">I run the fastest</span>

However, you can add 가장 to 좋아하다 (to like) without an adverb to indicate that you ‘like something the most.’ (This is also how you say “my favorite” in Korean).

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").
