  5. Comparison with the Comparative Degree (Page 236) 1. Comparison withquam (conjunction = than) In English we use the conjunction than in comparisons; and the two persons, places, or things being compared are in the same case. The same rule is true in Latin with the adverb quam (than). Honor mihi carior est quam vita. Honor is dearer to me than life. 2. Ablative of Comparison In Latin quam is sometimes omitted. The word being compared, which follows than in English, is placed in the ablative case in Latin. This use is called the Ablative of Comparison. This ablative may be used only when the persons, places, or things being compared would be in the nominative or accusative case if quam were used. Honor mihi carior est vita. Honor is dearer to me than life.
