Chapter 34- The Commissatio Positive, Comparative, and Superlative Adjectives

Notice vexatior– what do you think that means?

Vexatissma?

Aurelia vexata Aurelia vexatior Aurelia vexatissima porcus pinguis porcus pinguior porcus pinguissimus

Degrees of Adjectives The adjectives that we have been seeing in the stories are positive adjectives- this form is the basis of forming the other degrees- comparative and superlative RULE 1: There are three degrees of adjectives: positive ("big"), comparative ("bigger") and superlative ("biggest"). RULE 2: The regular comparative ending in Latin is -ior, -ioris. No matter the declension of the positive adjective, all comparatives belong to third declension (but are not i-stem!). RULE 3: The regular superlative ending in Latin is -issimus, -a, -um. All superlatives belong to first/second declension.

Way to remember… -ior = more -issimus = best

To Form: 1. Find your stem (take off the ending) Brevis- brev laetus- laet 2. What form are you using? Comparative- add -ior to your stem Superlative- add -issimus to your stem Remember- adjectives still must match in case, number, and gender!

Give the Comparative and Superlative of the forms below. Practice! Give the Comparative and Superlative of the forms below. Example: Notus, notior, notissimus notus, a, um molestus, a, um mirus, a, um magnificus, a, um fortis, -is, -e paratus, a, um oppressus, a, um brevis, -is, -e pinguis, -is, -e

However… not all adjectives are regular… Bonus, a, um- good parvus, a, um- small melior, melius- better minor, minus- smaller Optimus, a, um- best minimus, a, um - smallest Malus, a, um- bad multus, a, um- much Peior, peius- worse plus- more Pessimus, a, um- worst plurimus, a, um- most Magnus, a, um- big Maior, maius – bigger Write these down! We will Maximus, a, um- biggest have a separate quiz on these!

Practice with Irregular Adjectives Note that many of these irregular adjectives are used in the English language. Write down three derivatives of the irregular adjectives.

Declensions Positive and Superlative Adjectives decline just like regular 1st and 2nd declension nouns and adjectives The Comparative degree declines like a 3rd declension noun, EXCEPT - 3rd person singular ending is -i, not -e - neuter nominative and accusative plurals end in -a, not -ia Genitive plural ending is -um not - ium

Practice!! http://www.quia.com/cm/58488.html?AP_rand=1740924172

Look at each picture. Write 3 noun Adjective pairs using positive, Comparative and superlative adjectives. Then, rank the pictures, write 3 sentences- which is good, better, best.
