In Serbian, adjectives are used to describe nouns and can change form to express different degrees of comparison. There are three degrees of comparison: positive, comparative, and superlative.

Positive Degree

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

• lep (beautiful)
• brz (fast)
• visok (tall)

Comparative Degree

The comparative degree is used to compare two nouns, indicating that one has a higher degree of a certain quality than the other. In Serbian, the comparative is typically formed by adding the suffix "-iji" or "-ji" to the adjective. For example:

• lep → lepši (more beautiful)
• brz → brži (faster)
• visok → viši (taller)

Some adjectives have irregular comparative forms:

• dobar (good) → bolji (better)
• loš (bad) → gori (worse)
• velik (big) → veći (bigger)

Superlative Degree

The superlative degree is used to indicate that one noun has the highest degree of a certain quality among three or more nouns. The superlative is formed by adding the prefix "naj-" to the comparative form of the adjective. For example:

• lep → najlepši (most beautiful)
• brz → najbrži (fastest)
• visok → najviši (tallest)

Irregular superlative forms follow the same pattern:

• dobar → najbolji (best)
• loš → najgori (worst)
• velik → najveći (biggest)

Usage Notes

1. Agreement: Adjectives in Serbian must agree in gender, number, and case with the nouns they describe. For example:

   • lep čovek (a beautiful man) [masculine singular]
   • lepa žena (a beautiful woman) [feminine singular]
   • lepo dete (a beautiful child) [neuter singular]
   • lepi ljudi (beautiful people) [masculine plural]

2. Definite and Indefinite Forms: Serbian adjectives also have definite and indefinite forms, which are used depending on whether the noun they describe is definite or indefinite. The definite form is often used with the definite article "taj" (that), while the indefinite form is used without it.

3. Comparative Constructions: When making comparisons, the word "od" (than) is used to introduce the second noun. For example:

   • On je lepši od nje. (He is more beautiful than her.)
   • Ova knjiga je bolja od one. (This book is better than that one.)
