Degree: degree of comparison
Degree of comparison is an inflectional feature of some adjectives and adverbs.
Pos: positive, first degree
This is the base form that merely states a quality of something, without comparing it to qualities of others.
Examples
- star človek “an old man”
- hitro narejeno “quickly done”
Cmp: comparative, second degree
The quality of one object is compared to the same quality of another object. For most adverbs, two different word forms can be used interchangeably.
Examples
- starejši človek “an older man”
- hitreje / hitrejše narejeno “done more quickly”
Sup: superlative, third degree
The quality of one object is compared to the same quality of all other objects within a set. For most adverbs, two different word forms can be used interchangeably.
Examples
- najstarejši človek “the oldest man”
- najhitreje / najhitrejše narejeno “done most quickly”
