Understanding Comparative and Superlative Forms in Azərbaycanca
In the Azerbaijani language, adjectives can change to show comparisons. This means we can say if something is more or less than something else, or if it is the most or the least of all.
When we want to compare two things, we use the comparative form. In Azerbaijani, we often add '-daha' before the adjective or '-rək'/'-raq' at the end of the adjective to show this.
Examples
- Bu kitab daha maraqlıdır. (This book is more interesting.)
- O, məndən uzundur. (He is taller than me.)
- Bu çay daha dadlıdır. (This tea is more delicious.)
When we want to say something is the best or the most of all, we use the superlative form. In Azerbaijani, we add 'ən' before the adjective.
Examples
- Bu, ən gözəl güldür. (This is the most beautiful flower.)
- O, ən sürətli qaçandır. (He is the fastest runner.)
- Bu, ən dadlı yeməkdir. (This is the tastiest food.)
Important Points
- Comparative forms compare two things.
- Use '-daha' or '-rək'/'-raq' for comparatives.
