In the Estonian language, adjectives can be compared using three degrees of comparison: the positive, the comparative, and the superlative. These degrees help to describe the intensity or extent of the qualities expressed by the adjectives.

Positive Degree

The positive degree is the base form of the adjective, used to describe a quality without any comparison. For example:

• ilus (beautiful)
• suur (big)
• kiire (fast)

Comparative Degree

The comparative degree is used to compare two entities, indicating that one has more of a certain quality than the other. In Estonian, the comparative is typically formed by adding the suffix "-m" or "-m" to the base form of the adjective. For example:

• ilus → ilusam (more beautiful)
• suur → suurem (bigger)
• kiire → kiirem (faster)

Superlative Degree

The superlative degree is used to indicate that one entity has the highest degree of a certain quality among three or more entities. The superlative is usually formed by adding the suffix "-im" or "-im" to the base form of the adjective. For example:

• ilus → ilusaim (most beautiful)
• suur → suurim (biggest)
• kiire → kiireim (fastest)

Irregular Forms

Some adjectives have irregular comparative and superlative forms. For example:

• hea (good) → parem (better) → parim (best)
• halb (bad) → halvem (worse) → halvim (worst)
