Jien ċert li tifhem aħjar

hekk kif spjegajt l-aktar żbalji komuni bl-Ingliż

English mistakes when using  superlatives and comparatives.

meta tuża superlattivi u komparattivi.

There's something wrong.

Hemm xi ħaġa ħażina.

You don't know?

Ma tafx?

Well, if you don't, keep watching.

Ukoll, jekk ma tagħmilx hekk, ibqa' tara.

Hello, guys.

Hello, guys.

My name is fanny.

Jisimni fanny.

And in this video, I'm going to talk to you about huge mistakes that my students

U f’dan il-filmat, ser inkellimkom dwar żbalji kbar li l-istudenti tiegħi

keep making when using superlatives  and comparatives in English.

jibqgħu jagħmlu meta jużaw is-superlattivi u l-komparattivi bl-Ingliż.

And it drives me crazy!

U jsuqni miġnun!

So I want you to fix them if you keep making them.

Allura nixtieq li tirranġahom jekk tibqa’ tagħmilhom.

Okay.

Okay.

So let's and take a few examples.

Mela ejja u nieħdu ftit eżempji.

For example, “I am more taller than my sister.”

Pereżempju, “Jien iktar ogħla minn oħti.”

This is absolutely incorrect.

Dan huwa assolutament żbaljat.

I hope you know this.

Nispera li taf dan.

The comparative form of ‘tall’ is ‘taller’.

Il-forma komparattiva ta' 'tall' hija 'taller'.

You don't need more.

M'għandekx bżonn aktar.

Okay. ‘more’ is a double comparison.

Okay. 'aktar' huwa paragun doppju.

It's grammatically incorrect.

Huwa grammatikament żbaljat.

So you just say, “I am taller than my sister.”

Allura inti biss tgħid, "Jien ogħla minn oħti."

Second example.

It-tieni eżempju.

“His house is the beautifulest in town.”

"Dar tiegħu hija l-isbaħ fil-belt."

Wrong!

Ħażin!

You have to say, “This house is the most beautiful in town.”

Trid tgħid, "Din id-dar hija l-isbaħ fil-belt."

As you know, when it's a long word, the  superlative is ‘most’ plus the adjective.

Kif tafu, meta tkun kelma twila, is-superlattiv huwa 'l-aktar' flimkien mal-aġġettiv.

And then we have, “His older  son is badder at math than her.”

U mbagħad għandna, "Ibnu l-kbir huwa agħar fil-matematika minnha."

This is also incorrect because as you know,

Dan huwa żbaljat ukoll għaliex kif tafu,

‘bad’, is an exception.

'ħażin', hija eċċezzjoni.

The comparative form of ‘bad’ is ‘worse’.

Il-forma komparattiva ta' 'ħażin' hija 'agħar'.

So you should say, “His older son is worse at math than her.”

Għalhekk għandek tgħid, "Ibnu l-kbir huwa agħar fil-matematika minnha."

“I'm tireder than yesterday.”

"Jien aktar għajjien mill-bieraħ."

Again this is incorrect.

Għal darb'oħra dan mhux korrett.

Because the comparison for ‘tired’ is “I'm more tired than yesterday.”

Minħabba li l-paragun għal 'għajjien' huwa "Jien aktar għajjien mill-bieraħ."

With two syllable adjectives, it's a little bit tricky.

B'żewġ aġġettivi ta' sillaba, huwa xi ftit delikat.

Most of the time when they end in ‘y’, you just add ‘er’.

Il-biċċa l-kbira tal-ħin meta jispiċċaw b''y', inti biss żid 'er'.

When they don't, you use ‘more’.

Meta ma jagħmlux dan, tuża 'aktar'.

So in this case, we say, “I'm more tired than yesterday.”

Allura f’dan il-każ, ngħidu, “Jien għajjien aktar mill-bieraħ.”

And finally, “This is my most happiest day.”

U fl-aħħar, "Din hija l-aktar jum kuntenti tiegħi."

Again, double superlative.

Għal darb'oħra, superlattiv doppju.

This is incorrect.

Dan mhux korrett.

You can just say, “This is my happiest day.”

Tista 'sempliċement tgħid, "Din hija l-aktar jum kuntenti tiegħi."

Okay.

Okay.

I know you know the rules, but please stop making these mistakes.

Naf li taf ir-regoli, imma jekk jogħġbok ieqaf tagħmel dawn l-iżbalji.

If you do, that would be really nice.

Jekk tagħmel hekk, ikun tassew sabiħ.
