Comparable Adjectives
What is it?Adjectives can be formed in three different degrees: The base adjective, the comparable adjective and the superlative, for example, hurtig, hurtigere or hurtigst (quick, quicker and quickest). The RulesAdjectives are formed in three different ways.
Unfortunately there are no hard and fast rules what adjective takes what method. It is a matter of practising and remembering! Please note:The superlative in Danish can be reinforced by adding the prefix aller, e.g. min mor laver den allerbedste mad (my mum makes the very best food). When added to method #2 you'd say allermest, i.e. You'd add it to mest not the adjective itself. Examples#1 Regular
Notice that some adjectives 'double' their consonant in 2nd and 3rd degree. #2 mere and mest
#3 Word change!
