أَقْوَى stronger

A comparative form built on the pattern that English handles with '-er' or 'more' ('stronger'). Arabic folds the comparison into the word's shape rather than adding a helper word. It works as the heart of the statement, asserting that one thing outweighs another, and it sets up the 'than' that follows.

أَقْوَى stronger

A comparative adjective ('stronger') serving as the predicate of the 'that' clause, telling you what the attractions are claimed to be. This single elative shape carries the whole 'more...' comparison that English splits into two words.
