Q

Grammar
Adjectives
Governing the same word

A

Any number of adjectives governing the same word have the same ending:
mein guter, alter Freund
viele neue Anekdoten

71
Q

Grammar
Adjectives
Towns

A

Adjectives are made from towns by adding -er. These adjectives don’t decline
die Bostoner Kirche
der Kölner Dom
eines Berliner Kuchens

72
Q

Grammar
Adjectives
Comparitives

A

As in English, the comparitive is made by adding -er to the positive adjective.
stark, stärker, alt, älter
In English, comparitives are often formed of long adjectives by prefixing with more (eg more interesting). Germans don’t do this - no adjective is too long to become a positive adjective (eg interessanter, die interessanter Bücher)

73
Q

Grammar
Adjectives
Superlatives

A

There are two forms of the superlative:

  1. as in English, made by adding -est to the positive adjective (eg stark, stärkst, alt, ältest). Used before a noun or when a noun is understood (das größte Kind, die schönste Frau, Karl ist der beste (Schüler) in der Klasse)
  2. prefix with am and add -en (eg am größten). Used in the predicate - (Fritz ist am besten im Deutsch (his bes subject); Paula ist am schönsten wenn sie lächelt)
