In the formal standard language, comparisons of equality are expressed by ''ef ... solls''. However, in informal language, ''solls'' in this expression is often replaced by ''oss''. | |||
{{Gloss | |||
| phrase = Dē bom iss ef kra solls dē haus. | |||
| gloss = DEF tree be equally big as DEF house | |||
| translation = The tree is as tall as the house | |||
}} | |||
Comparisons of inequality always use ''oss''. | |||
{{Gloss | |||
| phrase = Ig iss auterr oss emm. | |||
| gloss = 1SG.SUBJ be old-COMP than 3SG.OBJ | |||
| translation = I am older than him. | |||
}} | |||
{{Gloss | |||
| phrase = Dē missē iss minnig snell oss dē katt. | |||
| gloss = DEF mouse.PL be less fast than DEF cat | |||
| translation = The mice are not as fast as the cat. | |||
}} | |||
