Comparative and Superlative Adjectives In Inglish, most one-syllable adjectives form the comparative by adding -er and the superlative by adding -est. Examples: small → smaller → smallest tall → taller → tallest pinq → pinqer → pinqest blaq → blaqer → blaqest ɯhît → ɯhîter → ɯhîtest ônge → ônger → ôngest old → older → oldest sad → sader → sadest smart → smarter → smartest stròŋ → stronguer → stronguest lòŋ → longuer → longuest big → bigher → bighest yoŋ → yongher → yonghest Two-Syllable Adjectives: For many two-syllable adjectives, it is more common to use "more" and "most" to form the comparative and superlative. However, some adjectives, particularly those ending in -le or -o, can still take -er and -est. Examples: simple → simpler → simplest gentle → gentler → gentlest nâro → nâroɯer → nâroɯest (narrow) Adjectives Ending in -y: Adjectives ending in -y form the comparative with -ier and the superlative with -iest. Examples: pritty → prittier → prittiest lîvly → lîvlier → lîvliest dedly → dedlier → dedliest míty → mítier → mítiest ângry → ângrier → ângriest Other Adjectives: For adjectives that do not take -er or -est, the words "more" and "most" are used to indicate the comparative and superlative. Examples: more sîlent → most sîlent more cairful → most cairful more clever → most clever more sevire → most sevire Special Notes: -uer and -uest are used for adjectives with long vowels. -her and -hest are used for adjectives with short vowels. For certain adjectives, ɯ is added between o and e to form the comparative and superlative.
