COMPARISON OF ADJECTIVES

COMPARATIVES ARE MADE FROM THE GENITIVE STEM:

Longus, gen = long- i

Brevis, gen = brev- is

Acer, gen= acr-is

SUPERLATIVES ARE MADE FROM EITHER THE GENITIVE STEM OR NOMINATEVI OF MASCULINES

e.g. long -issimus, a, um

!! adjectives ending in -er (in the basic form=1st case sg) make superlatives from masculine
nominative using an ending -rimus : acer + rimus, a, um

Comparatives are declined like 3rd declension consonant stems:

M+F line dolor, N like corpus

4 adjectives make superlative using the ending -limus:

Similis, dissimilis, facilis, difficilis: superlatives= simillimus,a,um; dissimillimus,a,um;
facillimus,a,um; difficillimus,a,um
