When you'd hear it
This pattern is common in everyday conversation, news, presentations, and formal writing. It often appears in comparisons such as prices, speed, ability, or priorities.
What learners get wrong
보다 follows the noun used as the comparison standard, as in 버스보다 빠릅니다. 더 is optional for emphasis, so 보다 does not require 더 before the adjective.
