Perguntas comuns (6)

Use mer for adjectives with three or more syllables, or those ending in -ad or -e (e.g., mer spännande).
Both are used. än jag is more formal/grammatically traditional, while än mig is very common in spoken Swedish.
Use 'mest' for adjectives that don't take '-ast', usually long ones or participles.
Yes, when modifying a noun. If it's a predicate, you can omit it.
Use än when there is a difference (e.g., 'större än'). Use som when things are the same (e.g., 'lika stor som').
It's better to guess -are. Using mer for short words like 'varm' or 'glad' sounds very unnatural in Swedish.
