COMPARISON OF ADJECTIVES.

Adjectives have three degrees of comparison; the Positive, Comparative, and Superlative; as: latus, broad; latior, broader; latissimus, broadest.

The Comparative is formed from any case of the Positive ending in -i, by adding -or, for the Masc. and Fem.; and -us, for the Neuter.

The Superlative is formed from any case of the Positive ending in -i, by changing -i into -issimus;

G. mit-is, -is, -is.

D. mit-i, -i, -i. miti-or, miti-us,

mit-issimus.

In like manner compare, latus, broad; carus, dear; brevis, short; dulcis, sweet; grandis, great.

But if the Positive end in -er, the Superlative is formed by adding -rimus to the Nom. Sing. Masc. as: tener, -a, -um; Superlative, tener-rĭmus.
