If you wanted to say, "they are older than me" would you say "son mayor" or "son mayores?

Question

Would you say son mayor or son mayores?

Answer 1

Son mayores que yo.

Answer 2

Mayor....adjectives match nouns in number and gender (when applicable). Gender applies when the adjective ends in o in the masculine form such as alto, bajo, feo, etc. or a in the feminine form. Adjectives that end in other letters such as r, l, and e only need to match in number.

Answer 3

Mayores because "they" indicates more than one.

Answer 4

Ellos son mayores que yo......o ellos son mayores que mi....

The use of "mi" is incorrect here. - --Mariana--, JUN 4, 2010

They are older than I (am) or They are older than me are both correct.
