Comparative Adjectives

A

Comparative adjectives end in -ior (masc. & fem.) or -us (neut) and are declined according to the pattern of the 3rd declension:

longior, longioris, longiori, longiorem, longiore
longiores, longiorum, longioribus, longiores, longioribus

longius, longioris, longiori, longius, longiore
longiora, longiorum, longioribus, longiora, longioribus

Q

Quam and Ablative of Comparison

A

The word quam, than, is used to compare two words. If quam is used, the words compared are in the same case.

Example: Joannes minor est quam Petrus. (John is younger than Peter.)

If the word to be compared is in the nominative or accusative, quam can be omitted and the second word put in the ablative.

Examples:

  1. Joannes minor est Petro. (John is younger than Peter.)
  2. Amor melle dulcior. (Love is sweeter than honey.)
  3. Nihil est virtute amabilius. (Nothing is more lovable than virtue.)
