You can regularly make three types of comparisons:
- Comparisons of inferiority: where it is mentioned that a noun is inferior in one characteristic than another.
- Comparisons of equality: where it is mentioned that two nouns are equal in a given characteristic.
- Comparisons of superiority: where it is mentioned that a noun is superior to another in a particular characteristic.
As you can see in the English translation, in each case the type of comparison was used to maintain the meaning of the sentence, for which they were chosen.
