Is fearr liom means I prefer, and the thing rejected follows ná: is fearr liom tae ná caife. To compare adjectives, use níos plus the comparative form before ná: níos mó ná, níos fearr ná.
Examples
- Is fearr liom tae ná caife.
- I prefer tea to coffee.
- Tá an leabhar níos fearr ná an scannán.
- The book is better than the film.
- Is fearr liom a bheith ag léamh.
- I prefer to be reading.
The mistake to avoid
Ná is the word for than here, never mar.
