Dal'qörian comparison of adjectives

back to Dalcurian adjectives

In English, many adjectives are compared by adding the suffixes er and est with the definite article the:

absolute	comparative	superlative
fast	faster	the fastest
late	later	the latest

Another way of comparing adjectives is with more and the most:

absolute	comparative	superlative
achievable	more achievable	the most achievable
advanced	more advanced	the most advanced

In Dalcurian, both of these constructions are rendered with the prefix te with words beginning with a consonant, and tev with those beginning with a vowel:

absolute	comparative	superlative
araciev-late	tev'araciev-later	di tev'araciev-the latest
bracödrädn-achievable	te'bracödrädn-more achievable	di te'bracödrädn-the most achievable
