Degree: degree of comparison
Degree of comparison is a feature of adjectives, some adverbs, and verbs in participle form.
Pos: positive, first degree
This is the base form that merely states a quality of something, without comparing it to qualities of others.
Examples
- [fi] uusi nimi “new name”
Cmp: comparative, second degree
The quality of one things is compared to the same quality of another.
Examples
- [fi] nuorempi veli “younger brother”
- [fi] pyöriä nopeammin “rotate faster”
Sup: superlative, third degree
The quality of one thing is compared to the same quality of all other things within a set.
Examples
- [fi] paras tulos “best result”
- [fi] nopeimmin kasvavat “fastest grow”
