''Synopsis:'' Comparison is a grammatical term that describes adjectives or adverbs that give a comparative quality to a noun (usually by comparing it with another noun). There are three degrees of comparison - absolute degree (''the usual use of an adjective'' such as αγαθος ανθρωπος - a '''good''' man); comparative (such as κρεισσων ανθρωπος - a '''better''' man); and superlative (such as '''strongestbest''' man).
----
* Absolute degree (''the usual use of an adjective'' such as αγαθος ανθρωπος - a good man)
* Comparative (such as κρεισσων ανθρωπος - a better man)
* Superlative (such as κρεισσπτερος ανθρωπος - strongest the best man).
===Formation of Comparative Adjectives===
===Adverbial Comparatives===
A comparative can be used adverbially by using the neuter singular form of the comparative adjective.
There are some exceptions to this rule.
===Adverbial Superlatives===
A superlative can be used adverbially by using the neuter plural form of the superlative adjective.
