に比べると/比べてにくらべると/くらべて

to compare, to make a comparison

Noun + に比べると / に比べて

This grammar point is used to compare two things, indicating that when one is compared to the other, a certain state or quality is observed. It is often used to highlight differences or similarities between two nouns.

The particle に is attached directly to the noun being used as the standard of comparison.

Compared to yesterday, it is cold today.

Compared to the city, the village is quiet.

This car is small compared to that one.

Note

に比べると and に比べて are generally interchangeable, but に比べると often emphasizes the result of the comparison (when compared, it turns out that...), while に比べて is a more general form. In formal writing, に比べ (without て) may also be used.
