No Matt, he said 'comparándola' I am not comparing it. Comparar - to compare. Just one little 'r' - jeje
What is comparándola?
This comes from the verb comparar = to compare (con with, to)
comparando = the gerund or present participle of the verb comparar
la = a direct object pronoun = it (feminie), her, you (formal feminine singular)
Direct object pronouns can be attached to gerunds/present participles (as well as infinitives and affirmative commands).
So, comparándola means something like = comparing it/her/you
It would be easier to translate this if you told us the context in which this word is begin used.
I hope that this helps.
