Superlatives

It’s interesting how certain things in German are quite similar to English which I love. I get so excited when I hear a word that’s similar to English because I know that way I won’t end up forgetting it. I guess the key to German is to learn and not to forget which I do all the time. I guess remembering comes with practice and time. So keeping my fingers crossed.

So today we happened to learn about superlatives.  It’s just like English where you say pretty, prettier and the prettiest.  You’re comparing one against the other and the last is the final ground of comparison. For instance if you want to say the friendly man in Positiv (+), Komparativ (++) and Superlative (+++), it is freundlich, freundlicher and am freundlichsten. And if it comes along with an article. It becomes der freundlichste Mann.

It can go a little overboard at times but remember patience is the key .
