Degree: degree of comparison
Degree of comparison is 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. Note that although this degree is traditionally called “positive”, negative properties can be compared, too.
Examples
- умный человек “young man”
Cmp: comparative, second degree
The quality of one object is compared to the same quality of another object.
Examples
- этот человек умнее меня “the man is younger than me”
Sup: superlative, third degree
The quality of one object is compared to the same quality of all other objects within a set.
Examples
- это наиумнейший человек в нашей команде “this is the youngest man in our team”
