À propos de に比べて

に比(くら)べて is a set expression in Japanese, used when comparing one thing to another. It is often simply translated as '(A) compared to (B)', or 'when comparing (A) to (B)'. 比(くら)べる is a る - Verb that means 'to compare', or 'to contrast'.

に比(くら)べて will be attached directly after a noun, before the (B) part of the sentence will explain the comparison that is being made.

Occasionally, the case marking particle と will be used instead of に. に and と are largely interchangeable in this expression, with に focusing slightly more on the changes/differences between similar features of (A) and (B). Alternatively と often mutually contrasts (A) and (B), discussing their individual/unique characteristics.

Caution

The way that 比(くら)べる is conjugated is not overly important to the sentence, so long as the meaning of 'if', or 'when' is conveyed. Due to this, に比(くら)べたら, に比(くら)べれば, and に比(くら)べると are all possible combinations.

        Hi,
        I have the same exact question. Is there a kind soul that can enlighten us on this?
        Thank you in advance

        Hey @Tulip and @Pablunpro !

        に比べて and より basically mean the same thing, so you can replace each grammar point with the other. However, they do have a slight difference in nuance. Since this grammar point uses the verb 比べる, ‘to compare’, it is used to emphasize the contrast (A compared to B), while より is used to demonstrate that something is more ~ than something else (B is more something than A).

        It seems like some of the questions for this grammar point did not include a hint for より, so we have just added them!

        I hope this answers your question!
