This is a correct comparative form of the adjective 'vast' and is commonly used in modern English.

"vaster"

Use 'vaster' when comparing the extent, size, or scope of something to emphasize its great magnitude.

Examples:

  • The desert seemed vaster than the ocean.
  • Her knowledge of the subject was vaster than anyone else's.
  • The universe is vaster than we can imagine.
  • His collection of books is vaster than mine.
  • The vaster the forest, the more diverse its wildlife.
  • Your spirit is vaster than oceans.
  • The world is richer, vaster than it too often seems to be.
  • Bottom right depicts our universe, which on the horizon is not beyond that, but even that is just one bubble, as it were, in some vaster reality.
  • which on the horizon is not beyond that, but even that is just one bubble, as it were, in some vaster reality.
  • And this alternative, said briefly, is that everything we see in our observed universe is actually a very small part of a much, much vaster multiverse.
  • Then I saw a giant circle coiled around the earth, a ring that resolved all contradictions, a ring vaster than death, more fragrant than any scent I have ever known.
  • To this end, it is essential that all people have sufficient access to sporting activities in the broadest sense possible, including but not limited to competitions, as sport is vaster than just competitive sport.

Alternatives:

  • more extensive
  • larger
  • greater in scope
  • more immense
  • more expansive

This is a correct comparative form of the adjective 'vast,' but it is less commonly used in modern English.

"more vast"

Use 'more vast' when you want to convey a sense of great size or extent in a slightly more formal or literary context.

Examples:

  • The plains were more vast than I had imagined.
  • The cathedral was more vast than any building I had seen before.
  • The empire's territory was more vast than any other in history.
  • It got to the point where those shots... ...grew and grew and became more and more vast.
  • if this "something more vast" be a revival of the cult of Mithras?
  • Olive secretly felt the distance between her and the pie maker grow more and more vast until it seemed she might as well be on the other side of the universe.
  • When he returned, he told of waterfalls that were more vast and immense... than people had ever dreamed of.
  • BigFoot man, much more... more vast.
  • What matters to us, we humble mortals, that the authorities should fear the celebration of a cult because this cult is the expression of something more vast?

Alternatives:

  • larger in size
  • more extensive
  • greater in scope
  • more immense
  • more expansive
