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
