"Sweeter"의 정의와 사용법 및 예문에 관한 질문

A: It usually refers to the additional enjoyment you get when something happens after an event that was already enjoyable to begin with.

"The revenge I took on my rival by making him lose his job was made all the sweeter when his wife divorced him."
"The deal I got on this new car was made all the sweeter by the free high performance tires that came with it."

2. “It was not as sweet as I thought.”
• This suggests that you had an expectation of sweetness, and the reality fell short of your expectation. In other words, it was less sweet than you expected.

Example sentences:

1. “I thought the cake would be incredibly sweet, but it wasn’t sweeter than I thought.”
2. “I was hoping for a very sweet dessert, but it was not as sweet as I thought.”
