I need good information on how to write a superlative in Latin. Can someone give me some examples too?
Q. I need to know about how to write a superlative in >>Latin<<. I have a report and i can't find anything about it on the web. I have to explain what it is and give a presentation by making a game of "Is It or Is it Not a Superlative?".

A. All the regular superlative adjectives will end in "-issimus, -issima, -issimum" (for masculine, feminine, neuter) added to the stem of the adjective. potens, potentis becomes potentissimus, -a, um (most powerful) fortunatus, -a, -um becomes fortunatissimus, -a, -um (most fortunate)

What are the correct comparative and superlative forms of the word "fun"?
Q. I have a bet with my friend that funner and funnest can be used because when I was in seventh grade, my class looked it up in the dictionary proving my teacher wrong. I need some back up!
Asked by crazyrita6 - Sun Mar 30 22:49:22 2008 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments
A. The CORRECT conjugations are: fun more fun most fun However, if you look up "funner" and "funnest", you may likely find them in the dictionary. They are not the correct ways of conjugating the adjective "fun" - they are non-standard or informal ways of saying "more fun" and "most fun". There are many words (example: ain't) listed in the dictionary which are not truly proper English. See:

Grammar: Use of superlative versus comparative degree forms of adverbs and adjectives.?
Q. When using superlative versus comparative degrees, is it ok to use "I am the oldest child" rather than "I am the older child" when the number of nouns compared isn't obvious? In this example there are two children in the family. The speaker knows there are only two children in the family, but the listener may not know.
Asked by r l - Sat Dec 22 13:40:43 2007 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments
A. The jury is still out on this one. But I think it IS ok. 1. Many great writers use this form. 2. One test for comparative or superlative is inclusion or exclusion. In the comparative, 'Tom is younger than John', then Tom and John are clearly distinct. But in 'Tom is the youngest of the boys', Tom is one of the group - even if it is a group of two.

Q. How are comparitive adjectives and adverbs different from superlative adjectives and adverbs?
Asked by Tyler R - Thu Jun 4 17:18:28 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Easy. Comparative compares two. Superlative compares three or more. To make a comparative adjective, add -er to the positive form of the adjective. Therefore: big becomes bigger. If you can't add -er, use more/less plus the positive form: handsome becomes more or less handsome. To make the superlative, add -est to the positive form. So... One is tall...he is taller than Bob...BUT John is the tallest of all three. If you can't add -est, use most/least plus the positive. SO: He's the most handsome of all. To use the comparative or superlative with adverbs, use more/less for two items and most/least for three or more: He drove more quickly than Bob. He drove less carefully than Bob. He drove the least carefully. He drove… [cont.]

A. Puella fortior quam puer (est). The comparative in that is 'fortior' - braver. That's in nominative singular, feminine - for 'fortior', masculine and feminine NS are the same. The case of the comparative or superlative will always match the noun modified, just like any other adjective. Puella fortissima est. - The girl is bravest. Puer fortissimus est. - The boy is bravest. Animal fortissimum est - Tha animal is bravest.
