He ovat vielä taitavampi kuin minä oon.
Does this say "They are even more skilled than I am"? If not, what is the finnish word for 'than' in this context? Kiitos.

Oops. Yeah. Forgot the plural form there. Mostly right for once though, huh??

Thanks.
edit- Seriously- I mixed the written Finnish with spoken? Must have been tired.........I'm counting it as a typo.

Is olen necessary to use in the sentence? Kuin minä, kuin sinä etc

He (plural)
Taitavampi (singular)
Hope you noticed that in your post.... (Haha..it was me who didn't notice that you have already noticed it, blind me

)

Doesn't your dictionay have 'kuin' for ' than'? Or you haven't checked a dict. at all. Try http://www.wiktionary.com it's a solid fin-eng dictionary.....
