=== Introduction to Comparatives and Superlatives === | |||
In Sindhi, just like in English, we use comparatives and superlatives to describe differences and extremes. Comparatives are used to compare two things, while superlatives are used to describe the highest degree of a quality among three or more things. | |||
* '''Comparative''': Used when comparing two entities. | |||
* '''Superlative''': Used when comparing more than two entities, indicating the highest or lowest degree. | |||
For example: | |||
* In English: "This book is '''better''' than that one." (Comparative) | |||
* In English: "This is the '''best''' book of all." (Superlative) | |||
In Sindhi, the formation rules are quite similar but have their unique structure and nuances. | |||
=== Formation of Comparatives === | |||
In Sindhi, comparatives are generally formed by adding specific suffixes to the adjectives or using certain words to enhance them. | |||
* '''Basic Structure''': Adjective + " کان" (kān) + comparative form. | |||
For example, to say "tall" in Sindhi, we use "اوچو" (ōcho). To say "taller", we would say "اوچو کان" (ōcho kān). | |||
Here’s a concise table to illustrate how comparatives work: | |||

|- | |||
| اوچو || ōcho || tall | |||

|- | |- | ||
| وڏو || waḍo || big | |||
|- | |||
| وڏو کان || waḍo kān || bigger | |||
|} | |||
=== Formation of Superlatives === | |||
Superlatives in Sindhi are formed by adding the suffix "ترين" (tareen) to the adjective. This indicates the highest degree of the quality being described. | |||
* '''Basic Structure''': Adjective + "ترين" (tareen). | |||
For example, to say "the tallest," we would say "اوچو ترين" (ōcho tareen). | |||
Here’s a quick table to summarize: | |||
{| class="wikitable" | {| class="wikitable" | ||

| سٺو ترين || suṭho tareen || the best | |||
|- | |- | ||
| | |||
| وڏو ترين || waḍo tareen || the biggest | |||
|} | |} | ||
=== Examples of Comparatives and Superlatives === | |||
Let’s dive into more examples to clarify how comparatives and superlatives are used in Sindhi. | |||
1. '''Comparatives''': | |||
* "This book is better than that one." | |||
* "هي ڪتاب سٺو کان آهي." | |||
* "Hī kitāb suṭho kān āhi." | |||
* "She is taller than her brother." | |||
* "هوءَ پنهنجي ڀائر کان اوچو آهي." | |||
* "Hō paṇjhi bhāir kān ōcho āhi." | |||
2. '''Superlatives''': | |||
* "He is the best player on the team." | |||
* "هو ٽيم ۾ سٺو ترين رانديگر آهي." | |||
* "Hō ṭīm mein suṭho tareen rāndīgar āhi." | |||
* "This is the tallest building in the city." | |||
* "هي شهر ۾ اوچو ترين عمارت آهي." | |||
* "Hī shahr mein ōcho tareen imārat āhi." | |||
Here’s a comprehensive table showcasing both comparatives and superlatives: | |||
{| class="wikitable" | {| class="wikitable" | ||
! | |||
! Sindhi !! Pronunciation !! English | |||
|- | |- | ||
| | |||
| | | هي ڪتاب سٺو کان آهي. || Hī kitāb suṭho kān āhi. || This book is better than that one. | ||
| | |||
| | |- | ||

Introduction to Comparatives and Superlatives[edit | edit source]
In Sindhi, just like in English, we use comparatives and superlatives to describe differences and extremes. Comparatives are used to compare two things, while superlatives are used to describe the highest degree of a quality among three or more things.
- Comparative: Used when comparing two entities.
- Superlative: Used when comparing more than two entities, indicating the highest or lowest degree.
For example:
- In English: "This book is better than that one." (Comparative)
- In English: "This is the best book of all." (Superlative)
In Sindhi, the formation rules are quite similar but have their unique structure and nuances.
Formation of Comparatives[edit | edit source]
In Sindhi, comparatives are generally formed by adding specific suffixes to the adjectives or using certain words to enhance them.
- Basic Structure: Adjective + " کان" (kān) + comparative form.
For example, to say "tall" in Sindhi, we use "اوچو" (ōcho). To say "taller", we would say "اوچو کان" (ōcho kān).
Here’s a concise table to illustrate how comparatives work:
Sindhi | Pronunciation | English |
---|---|---|
اوچو | ōcho | tall |
اوچو کان | ōcho kān | taller |
سٺو | suṭho | good |
سٺو کان | suṭho kān | better |
سٺو کان | suṭho kān | better |
وڏو | waḍo | big |
وڏو کان | waḍo kān | bigger |
Formation of Superlatives[edit | edit source]
Superlatives in Sindhi are formed by adding the suffix "ترين" (tareen) to the adjective. This indicates the highest degree of the quality being described.
- Basic Structure: Adjective + "ترين" (tareen).
For example, to say "the tallest," we would say "اوچو ترين" (ōcho tareen).
Here’s a quick table to summarize:
Sindhi | Pronunciation | English |
---|---|---|
اوچو ترين | ōcho tareen | the tallest |
سٺو ترين | suṭho tareen | the best |
وڏو ترين | waḍo tareen | the biggest |
