far ahead


Explanation:
Merhabalar,
Cümlenin tamamını bilmiyorum fakat, soyle diyebilirsiniz: Turkcell is expected to lead the industry "far ahead" of its competitors.

Örneğin, seçimlerde bir partinin diğerinin açık ara önünde olduğunu belirtmek için de "far ahead" ifadesinin kullanildigini biliyorum.


Example sentence(s):
  • "Newsweek poll puts Democrats far ahead in Congress Reuters"

far and away (veya) by far


Explanation:
Main Entry: far and away
Function: adverb
: by a considerable margin <was far and away the better team>

by far
Also, far and away. To the greatest degree, by a large margin. For example, She is by far the most experienced member of the cast, or, as Anthony Trollope wrote, "He was far and away the cleverest of his party" (The Duke's Children, 1880). The first term dates from the late 1700s, the variant from the mid-1800s. Also see by half.
