2.5 Comparison of Adverbs
Adverbs can be compared in the same way that adjectives are.
The adverb itself is the positive form, the comparative form has an -ere ending, and the superlative form has an -est or –st ending.
| Erik snakker høyt. (Erik speaks loudly) |
Pål snakker høyere enn Erik. (Pål speaks louder than Erik.) |
Bjørn snakker høyest. (Bjørn speaks the loudest.) |
