Degrees Of Comparison


We use Degrees of Comparison to compare people, places or things. An adjective can have one of three forms: Positive, Comparitive or Superlative. For example, for the adjective "big" the Positive form would be "big" itself, the Comparitive form would be "bigger" and the Superlative form would be "biggest".

In Turkish, we express the Comparitive form using "daha" and the Superlative form using "en". For example, for the adjective "büyük" the Positive form would be "büyük" itself, the Comparitive form would be "daha büyük" and the Superlative form would be "en büyük".

Examples:

Positive Comparitive Superlative

big bigger biggest
küçük daha küçük en küçük
small smaller smallest
hızlı daha hızlı en hızlı
fast faster fastest
kolay daha kolay en kolay

iyi daha iyi en iyi
