Understanding Norwegian Comparative Adjectives
In Norwegian, comparative adjectives are used to compare two things. They help us show how one thing is different from another in terms of size, quality, or other characteristics.
Important Points
- For adjectives ending in '-ig', you still add '-ere'.
- If an adjective ends in '-e', just add '-re'.
- Some adjectives change completely and are irregular.
Let's look at some examples to see how these rules work in real sentences.
Examples
- stor -> større (big -> bigger)
- vakker -> vakrere (beautiful -> more beautiful)
- god -> bedre (good -> better)
There are also some special cases where the adjective changes completely. These are called irregular adjectives.
Examples
- gammel -> eldre (old -> older)
- liten -> mindre (small -> smaller)
- dårlig -> verre (bad -> worse)
By practicing these rules and examples, you'll get better at using comparative adjectives in Norwegian. Keep practicing, and soon it will become easy!
