Comparatives & superlatives

Comparisons - er/est

To form comparatives, we mostly do the same thing as we do in Dutch. Most short words gain  gain –er or–est at the end 

Cheap - cheaper - cheapest

• Words with 1 syllable (lettergreep)
• Words with 2 syllables that end in –y (happy), -er, (clever), 

–le (gentle) and –ow (narrow) .

Bigger / thinner 

Words that end in a short vowel + consonant (klinker + medeklinker), double the last consonant

Big - bigger - biggest

Thin - thinner - thinnest

Comparisons

Words with 2 syllables that do not end in  –y, -er, -le or –ow or words that are longer, do not gain –er/-est  but instead use more/most & less/least .

Interesting - more interesting - most interesting

Beautiful - less beautiful - least beautiful
