The comparative marker '-보다' (more than) is attached to a standard of comparison (which is usually the second noun) when both items of comparison are mentioned. It is often accompanied by '-더' which means 'more'.
한국말이 영어보다 (더) 어려워요. Korean is more difficult than English.
개가 고양이보다 (더) 커요. Dogs are bigger than cats.
오늘은 어제보다 (더) 시원해요. Today is cooler than yesterday.
When the standard of comparison is omitted, '더'('more) is used.
이게 더 좋아요. This is better.
한국말이 더 어려워요. Korean is more difficult.
나는 사과가 더 좋아요. I like apples more.
