COMPARATIVE ADJECTIVES 1

Adjetives can be used for comparing nouns.

The comparative mode of any adjective is used for this purpose. The rule for one-syllable adjetives is to add an ER to the end of any adjective:

- BIG = BIGGER
- TALL = TALLER

Only an R would be added if the adjective ends in E:

- NICE = NICER

(we use word THAN to complete our comparative statement)

A night out = um passeio à noite

- ele tem um hamburguer = he has a hamburger
- torta de maça não é mais fria que sorvete = apple pie ins't colder than ice cream
- isso é uma salsicha? = is that a sausage?
- vinho é mais gostoso que água = wine is nicer than water
- você está com os meus livros? = have you got my books?
- nós temos copos e pratos? = have we got glasses and plates?

COMPARATIVE ADJECTIVES 2

For adjectives of THREE or MORE SYLLABLES, the following construction will be used:

- BEAU-TI-FUL = MORE BEAUTIFUL
- IN-TE-LLI-GENT = MORE INTELLIGENT

For two-syllable adjectives not ending in Y, the above rule applies:

- CLE-VER = MORE CLEVER

When ending in Y, Y will be changed for I:

- HA-PPY = HAPPIER
