===Formation of Comparative Adjectives===
Comparative adjectives (e.g. higher) are formed by tazing taking the stem of the adjective and adding '''οτερος''' (if masculine) or '''οτερα''' (if feminine) or '''οτερον''' (if neuter). This is similar to English, where '''er''' is added to the adjective (for example: high becomes higher).
There are a number of irregular comparative adjectives such as αγαθος (good) which becomes κρεισσων (better). This is similar to English, where ''good'' becomes ''better''.
===Formation of Superlative Adjectives===
Superlative adjectives (e.g. highest) are formed by tazing taking the stem of the adjective and adding '''ατοτος''' (if masculine) or '''ατοτη''' (if feminine) or '''ατοτον''' (if neuter). This is similar to English, where '''est''' is added to the adjective (for example: high becomes highest).
There are a number of irregular superlative adjectives.
===The noun being compared to===
Comparatives are usually used to compare one noun with a second noun. In English, the word "than" is used in these sentences prior to the second noun (for example: "he is shorter than a tree"). In GreezGreek, there are two ways to indicate the noun that is the object of comparison.
# Using the Genitive Case
# Using [[η]] (with a smooth breathing)
