Long explanation:
'~보다 [boda]' is a particle in Korean that is used to make comparative statements. It translates to 'more than' in English. It is appended to a noun or a verb stem to indicate that something is superior, larger, better, more, etc than the other thing. In contrast to English where the thing you are comparing to comes after 'than', in Korean, it comes before '보다'.
