Comparing things in German works much like English — comparative ("more/-er") uses -er, and superlative ("most/-est") uses am + -sten. A few very common words are irregular.
| Base | Comparative | Superlative |
|---|---|---|
| schnell | schneller | am schnellsten |
| alt | älter | am ältesten |
| gut | besser | am besten |
| viel | mehr | am meisten |
| gern | lieber | am liebsten |
| German | English |
|---|---|
| Er ist so groß wie ich. | He is as tall as me. (equal) |
| Sie ist größer als ich. | She is taller than me. (unequal) |
What is the superlative of 'gut' (good)?
