Quoting tomac

 

...

By the way, as far as I know you can omit "daha" word when comparing two things or persons, which/who are mentioned in the sentence. I´ve read about it in G.L. Lewis "Turkish Grammar" - however, I have only access to old edition of this book (it´s about 40 year old), so I´m not sure if it is still correct in modern turkish to skip word "daha" in this way. Maybe someone more advanced can say something about it ?

...

 

 

You can omit it when the sentence is short and simple:

 

Ayşe, Fatma´dan güzel.

 

You cannot omit it when the sentence is long and/or complicated:

(I searched in google for "daha iyi":12.000.000 results. Here are some examples from the first page)

 

Doğuş Grubu Yönetim Kurulu Başkanı Ferit Şahenk, "Türkiye´yi 2010´da diğer büyüyen piyasalardan daha iyi görüyorum..."

 

Devlet Bakanı ve Başbakan Yardımcısı Ali Babacan, 2010 yılının hangi açıdan bakılırsa bakılsın 2009 yılından daha iyi bir yıl olacağını belirterek, ...

 

Sol bekte oynayan R. Carlos, Hakan Balta´ dan daha iyi oyuncu.

 

Kapanmaktansa açılmak daha iyi.
