Adjectives

Comparative Adjectives su označivači koji se koriste za usporedbu dviju stvari, ljudi ili radnji, izražavajući jednakosti ili nejednakosti među njima.

EXTRA: Comparative Adjectives = Komparativ Pridjeva.

Koristimo Comparative Adjectives kad želimo usporediti dvije ili više stvari, osoba ili radnji. Koristimo riječ than nakon pridjeva kako bi usporedili jednu stvar s drugom.

The formula of comparative form is:
Subject + verb + comparative adjective + than + object.

One syllable

Jednosložni pridjev: dodajemo-er + than.
Općenito, jednosložnim pridjevima dodajemo samo -er.
Sa jednosložnim pridjevom koji završava na samoglasnik i jedan suglasnik, obično udvostručujemo završni suglasnik prije nego li dodamo -er. (e.g. big -> bigger)
Jednosložnom pridjevu koji završava na -e samo dodajemo +r.

clean cleaner
simple simpler
small smaller
long longer
old older

Two syllables ending in -y

Dvosložni pridjevi koji završavaju na -y: Mijenjaju-y u –i i dodajemo –er.

happy happier
pretty prettier
funny funnier
early earlier
friendly friendlier

Two or more syllables not ending in -y

more + pridjev (bez promjena).

modern more modern
boring more boring
popular more popular
difficult more difficult
beautiful more beautiful

Dvo- ili višesložni pridjevi koji ne završavaju na -y: Dodajemo more prije pridjeva.
Ne mijenja se i dodaje se than nakon toga. […more + adjective (bez promjena) + than…].

One syllable

  • My room is cleaner than his room.
  • Andorra is smaller than Great Britain.
  • Their brother is older than my sister.

Two syllables ending in -y

  • I am friendlier than Max.

We use Comparative Adjectives when we want to compare two or more things, people or actions.

Comparative Adjectives se koriste za usporedbu dviju stvari, ljudi ili radnji, izražavajući jednakosti ili nejednakosti među njima.

Struktura u komparativu se različito tvori, ovisno o broju slogova i sufiksa pridjeva.

Npr.:
— Jednosložni pridjev: “Claire is older than Paula.” = Riječ old ima jedan slog, i dodajemo samo -er. (Sa jednosložnim pridjevima koji završavaju jednim samoglasnikom i jednim suglasnikom, obično udvostručujemo završni suglasnik prije nego li dodamo -er. (e.g. big -> bigger)).
— Dvosložni pridjevi koji završavaju na -y: “Claire is prettier than Paula.” = Riječ pretty završava na -y, -y se pretvara u -i i moramo dodati -er.
— Dvoje ili višesložni pridjevi koji ne završavaju na -y: “Claire is more sympathetic than Paula.” = Riječ sympathetic ima više od jednog sloga, moramo napisati more prije pridjeva. Pridjev se ne mijenja kad koristimo more.

Notices:

Non-commercial use means that users may not sell, profit from, or commercialize Books for Languages’ materials or works derived from them. That said, we have found that there are certain “gray areas” in interpreting the non-commercial provision of Creative Commons license. The guidelines below are intended to help users determine whether or not their use of Books for Languages’ materials would be permitted under the “non-commercial” restriction. Note that there are additional requirements (attribution and share alike) spelled out in our license.

Commercialization is prohibited. Users may not directly sell or profit from Books for Languages’ materials or from works derived from Books for Languages’ materials.

Example: A commercial education or training business may not offer courses based on Books for Languages’ materials if students pay a fee for those courses and the business intends to profit as a result.

Determination of commercial vs. non-commercial purpose is based on the use, not the user. Materials may be used by individuals, institutions, governments, corporations, or other business whether for-profit or non-profit so long as the use itself is not a commercialization of the materials or a use that is directly intended to generate sales or profit.

Example: A corporation may use Books for Languages’ materials for internal professional development and training purposes.

Incidental charges to recover reasonable reproduction costs may be permitted. Recovery of nominal actual costs for copying small amounts (under 100 copies) of Books for Languages’ content on paper or CDs is allowed for educational purposes so long as there is no profit motive and so long as the intended use of the copies is in compliance with all license terms.
