sense 5 Modifiers such as tr daha ("more") are optional in this sense to express comparativity. Despite both being grammatically correct, tr daha is more commonly used in longer sentences and not as much in copulative sentences. When tr daha is omitted, one should generally try to avoid putting another word between the adjective and whichever word has taken the ablative.
