Grammar: Comparison of adjectives

Steigerung von Adjektiven

📝 Regel:

Du verwendest die Steigerung von Adjektiven, um zwei Dinge miteinander zu vergleichen.

💡 Bildung:

1. Kurze Adjektive mit ein oder zwei Silben

Grundform |  | 1. Stufe |  | 2. Stufe
Adjektiv |  |  | Adjektiv | + er |  | the Adjektiv | +est

✏️ Example:

1. Stufe
The guitar is bigger than the trumpet. | Die Gitarre ist größer als die Trompete.
The saxophone is louder than the sitar. | Das Saxophon ist lauter als die Sitar.
2. Stufe
The piano is the biggest instrument. | Das Klavier ist das größte Instrument.
The drum set is the loudest instrument. | Das Schlagzeug ist das lauteste Instrument.

2. Lange Adjektive mit drei und mehr Silben

Bei langen Adjektiven wird die Steigerungsform vor das Adjektiv gestellt.

Grundform |  | 1. Stufe |  | 2. Stufe
Adjektiv |  |  | more | + Adjektiv |  | the most | + Adjektiv

✏️ Example:

1. Stufe
The saxophone is more powerful than the sitar. | Das Saxophon ist kraftvoller als die Sitar.
The piano is more melodious than the drum set. | Das Klavier ist melodiöser als das Schlagzeug.
2. Stufe
The drum set is the most powerful instrument. | Das Schlagzeug ist das kraftvollste Instrument.
I think the singer is the most melodious. | Ich glaube, die Sängerin ist die melodiöseste.

⚠️ Aufgepasst:

Bei Adjektiven, die auf -y enden, wird dieses vor der Endung zum i. z.B.:

happy | happier | the happiest

Konsonanten nach einem kurzen Vokal werden in der Steigerungsform verdoppelt. z.B.:

big | bigger | the biggest
