Degrees of comparison: |

as boring as
not quite as boring as |
comparative |
more, less, worse, better, louder
more exciting than |
superlative |
most, least, longest, most painful
the most expensive of all |
The comparative is also used, like in Latin, when we want to say, |
not just "clever, harsh, firm ......" but |
 | rather clever |
|
σοφώτερος |
rather harsh |
|
χαλεπώτερος |
rather firm |
|
βεβαιότερος |
The superlative, again like in Latin, is also used to day things (or people, of course) are superlatively, exceedingly or just very good, bad, expensive, tasty, interesting etc.
There will be, as usual, mostly regular forms, with some - most often used - irregular forms to keep us on our toes.
