Degrees of Adjectives
Adjectives have three forms of comparison: Positive, Comparative and Superlative. Simple adjectives that make no comparisons are positive forms.
Most adjectives form the comparative by adding ‘-r’, ‘-er’, -ier’ and the superlative by adding ‘-st’, ‘-est’, ‘-iest to the positive.
Adjectives के तीन रूप (degrees) होते हैं। Positive degree आम विशेषता बताती है; जबकि Comparative तथा Superlative degrees का प्रयोग तुलना के लिए किया जाता है।
(i) अधिकतर adjectives के पीछे ‘-er’/’-ier’ तथा ‘-est’/’-iest’ जोड़ने से तथा आवश्यक परिवर्तन (विशेषकर अंतिम) करने से क्रमश: Comparative तथा Superlative degrees बनती हैं ; जैसे
| Positive | Comparative | Superlative |
| quick | quicker | quickest |
| fine | finer | finest |
| nice | nicer | nicest |
| bold | bolder | boldest |
| clever | cleverer | cleverest |
| deep | deeper | deepest |
| dirty | dirtier | dirtiest |
| heavy | heavier | heaviest |
| happy | happier | happiest |
(ii)Adverb “more” तथा “most” के प्रयोग से ; जैसे —
| Positive | Comparative | Superlative |
| beautiful courageous difficult satisfactory useful |
more beautiful more courageous more difficult more satisfactory more useful |
most beautiful most courageous most difficult most satisfactory most useful |
(iii) भिन्न – भिन्न शब्दों के प्रयोग से ; जैसे —
| Positive | Comparative | Superlative |
| good\well | better | best |
| bad | worse | worst |
| little | less | least |
| far | farther/further | farthest/furthest |
