<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:black">As for the comparative form “younger” in “younger generation” – I wouldn’t worry about it. It’s just an English idiom meaning, I guess, “(noticeably) younger
than us”. I don’t see any real difference between complaining about “younger people” vs. “young people”. If you really mean children not teenagers, say {Qupqu’} “very young” or just {puqpu’} “children”.

I can't seem to find information on how to translate comparatives when there is no stanfard. There are "law'" and "puS" for constructions like "pal Qup law' pIyta Qup puS" for "Paul is younger than Peter", but how would one say "younger generation"?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
