英語の定義

• conj. A particle expressing comparison, used after certain
• adjectives and adverbs which express comparison or diversity, as more,
• better, other, otherwise, and the like. It is usually followed by the
• object compared in the nominative case. Sometimes, however, the object
• compared is placed in the objective case, and than is then considered
• by some grammarians as a preposition. Sometimes the object is expressed
• in a sentence, usually introduced by that; as, I would rather suffer
• than that you should want.
• adv. Then. See Then.
