Steigerung von Adjektiven

📝 rule:

You need the comparative or the superlative form of adjectives to compare things with each other.
Du verwendest die Steigerung von Adjektiven, um Dinge miteinander zu vergleichen.

💡 form:

1. short adjectives (one or two syllables) kurze Adjektive (ein oder zwei Silben)

With short adjectives you add ~er and ~est to the adjective.

basic form			comparative			superlative
adjective			adjective	+er		the + adjective	+est

✏️ example:

comparative
The trumpet is smaller than the guitar.	Die Trompete ist kleiner als die Gitarre.
The saxophone is louder than the sitar.	Das Saxophon ist lauter als die Sitar.
superlative
The piano isn't the smallest instrument.	Das Klavier ist nicht das kleinste Instrument.
The drum set is the loudest instrument.	Das Schlagzeug ist das lauteste Instrument.

2. long adjectives (three or more syllables) lange Adjektive (drei und mehr Silben)

With long adjectives you must use more or the most in front of the adjective.

basic form			comparative			superlative
adjective			more	+adjective		the most	+adjective

✏️ example:

comparative
The saxophone is more powerful than the sitar.	Das Saxophon ist kraftvoller als die Sitar.
The piano is more melodious than the drum set.	Das Klavier ist melodischer als das Schlagzeug.
superlative
The drum set is the most powerful instrument.	Das Schlagzeug ist das kraftvollste Instrument.
That is the most melodious song.	Das ist das melodischeste Lied.

⚠️ watch the spelling!

~y → ~ier / ~iest. z.B.:

happy

happier

the happiest

double consonant after short vowel! doppelter Konsonant nach einem kurzen Vokal!

big

bigger

the biggest

⚠️ irregular adjectives!

These adjectives don't follow the rules. Diese Adjektive folgen nicht den Regeln.

good → better → the best
bad → worse → the worst
much / many → more → the most
few / little → less → the least
