In Latin, as in English, there are three degrees of comparison: Positive, comparative and superlative. 278. The comparative is formed by adding to the stem of the positive: Nominative: M., ior; F., ior; N., ius. Comparatives are declined like tristior. (114.) 279. The superlative is formed by adding to the stem of the positive: Nominative: M., issimus; F., issima; N., issimum. Superlatives are declined like bonus. (59.) Altus, altior, alt issimus. (High, higher, highest.) Felix, felicior, felicissimus. (Happy, happier, happiest.) 281. Adjectives whose nominative masculine ends in er form their superlative by adding: M., rimus; F., rima: N., rimum, to the nominative masculine singular. Acer, acrior, acerrimus. (Sharp, sharper, sharpest.) The sacred name of Jesus is thus declined: Jesus, Jesu, Jesu, Jesum, Jesu, Jesu. RULE. 283. Words denoting a part are qualified by a genitive denoting the whole. As: Omnium sapientissimus. The wisest of all. Quis vestrum? Which of you? 284. The comparative and superlative are not always translated by "more" and "most." Sometimes, the comparative is translated by "too," and the superlative by "very." Gravior, more, or too severe. Gravissimus, most, or very severe. NOTE. In parsing an adjective hereafter, compare and tell the degree of comparison before declining the adjective. 285. EXERCISE. Peccator hominum miserrimus est.
