more kind; more caring
The comparative form of *kind*, meaning more nice and caring than someone or something else.
用法模式：
[someone] is kinder [to someone] than [someone/something]
常见错误：
Learners sometimes say *more kind* instead of *kinder*. While *more kind* is not wrong, *kinder* is more natural in most everyday speech. Learners may also confuse *kinder* with the German word *Kinder* meaning *children*, or with the brand name *Kinder* on chocolate products, which is unrelated to this comparative form.
近义词
nicer (Very close in meaning, but more general; does not always include the idea of deep care that 'kinder' can suggest.)

young children in kindergarten
An informal word that some teachers use to talk about the children in a kindergarten class.
用法模式：
[someone] teaches the kinder
常见错误：
Learners may think this *kinder* is simply the comparative form of *kind* and try to use it that way in school contexts (e.g., *I like the kinder class* meaning *younger class*). In this informal noun sense, it refers specifically to kindergarten children, not to people who are more kind.
近义词
kindergartners (Standard, widely understood term; more neutral and common than the informal shorthand *kinder*.)
反义词
adults (Refers to fully grown people, in contrast with very young school children.)
