3. (after a verb) more, -er (indicating a higher degree or quantity)

Usage notes

• There may be some difficulty for non-native speakers to detect the negativity or positivity of "plus". The negative sense is generally used with a ne, but the "ne" is sometimes elided or even dropped in colloquial speech. Thus in certain cases, some speakers may choose to pronounce the final /s/ of a positive plus (as /plys/) in order to make a distinction.
