In English, the comparative of adverbs is formed by adding the comparative "more" before the adverb, as in "The red car goes more slowly." However, this isn't always the case as in, "John speaks Finnish well" and Mary speaks Finnish better than John. (Note: it's not 'more well') In Finnish, the system is more regular.
