Flat hunting
Two flats, one budget, and a landlord staring at you like a game show host. Pick wrong and you're paying extra rent just to tell your cousin 'this one is bigger' in broken Korean.

The idea — Flat hunting
더 goes right before the adjective to mean 'more' (더 커요 = bigger), and 보다 attaches to the thing you're comparing against to mean 'than' (저 집보다 = than that place).
Now when you walk into any room, you can size it up out loud and say exactly why you'd pick it.
