Degree of comparison is typically an inflectional feature of some adjectives and adverbs.
Examples
- Tree vir tree sal ons dit maak, soos die spreekwoord lui, landsgenote, groot dinge begin met klein treetjies. “We will do this step by step, as the proverb says, big things start with little steps.”
Pos: positive, first degree
This is the base form that merely states a quality of something, without comparing it to qualities of others. Note that although this degree is traditionally called “positive”, negative properties can be compared, too.
Examples
- To be added.
Cmp: comparative, second degree
The quality of one object is compared to the same quality of another object.
Examples
- To be added.
Sup: superlative, third degree
The quality of one object is compared to the same quality of all other objects within a set.
