Introduction to Comparatives and Superlatives[edit | edit source]

In Dari, comparatives and superlatives are used to compare qualities and characteristics. These grammatical structures enable you to articulate differences between two things or highlight the most prominent quality among a group.

Using comparatives and superlatives can enrich your conversation and writing, making it more engaging. Let’s take a closer look at how to form these structures.

Forming Comparatives[edit | edit source]

To create comparatives in Dari, you typically add the suffix -تر (-tar) to the adjective. This suffix indicates that one thing has a greater degree of a particular quality than another.

Here’s the general structure:

Adjective + -تر (comparative form)

For instance:

زیبا (zibā) - beautiful

زیباتر (zibātar) - more beautiful

Let’s look at some examples of comparatives:

Dari	Pronunciation	English
خوب	khub	good
بهتر	behtar	better
بلند	buland	tall
بلندتر	bulandtar	taller
سریع	sari'	fast
سریع‌تر	sari'tar	faster
بزرگ	bozorg	big
بزرگتر	bozorgtar	bigger
کوچک	kuchak	small
کوچکتر	kuchaktar	smaller

Forming Superlatives[edit | edit source]

Superlatives in Dari can be formed by adding the prefix بیشترین (bishtarin) or ترین (tarin) to the adjective. This signifies that something possesses the highest degree of a particular quality within a group.

For example:

بیشترین/ترین + Adjective (superlative form)

Here are a few examples of superlatives:

Dari	Pronunciation	English
خوب	khub	good
بهترین	behtarin	best
بزرگ	bozorg	big
بزرگترین	bozorgtarin	biggest
زیبا	zibā	beautiful
زیباترین	zibātarin	most beautiful
کوچک	kuchak	small
کوچکترین	kuchaktarain	smallest
سریع	sari'	fast
سریع‌ترین	sari'tarin	fastest

 __TOC__
-Comparing things is an essential part of language. In this lesson, you will learn how to use comparative and superlative adjectives in Dari to compare and describe things. By the end of this lesson, you will be able to express the differences between objects and people with ease.
+=== Introduction to Comparatives and Superlatives ===
+In Dari, comparatives and superlatives are used to compare qualities and characteristics. These grammatical structures enable you to articulate differences between two things or highlight the most prominent quality among a group.
+Using comparatives and superlatives can enrich your conversation and writing, making it more engaging. Let’s take a closer look at how to form these structures.
+=== Forming Comparatives ===
+To create comparatives in Dari, you typically add the suffix '''-تر''' (-tar) to the adjective. This suffix indicates that one thing has a greater degree of a particular quality than another.
+Here’s the general structure:
+* '''Adjective + -تر''' (comparative form)
+For instance:
+* '''زیبا''' (zibā) - beautiful
-== Basics of Comparatives ==
+* '''زیباتر''' (zibātar) - more beautiful
-Comparative adjectives are used to show the difference between two or more things or people. In Dari, we form comparative adjectives by adding the suffix -تر (-tar) to the end of the adjective. For example:
+Let’s look at some examples of comparatives:
 {| class="wikitable"
-! Dari !! IPA !! English
+! Dari !! Pronunciation !! English
 |-
-| قدیمی || qadimi || old
+| خوب || khub || good
 |-
-| قدیمی‌تر || qadim-tar || older
+| بهتر || behtar || better
+|-
+| بلند || buland || tall
+|-
+| بلندتر || bulandtar || taller
+|-
+| سریع || sari' || fast
+|-
+| سریع‌تر || sari'tar || faster
+|-
+| بزرگ || bozorg || big
+|-
+| بزرگتر || bozorgtar || bigger
+|-
+| کوچک || kuchak || small
+|-
+| کوچکتر || kuchaktar || smaller
 |}
-As you can see, we have simply added -تر (-tar) to the end of the adjective قدیمی (qadimi) to create the comparative form قدیمی‌تر (qadim-tar), which means "older."
+=== Forming Superlatives ===
+Superlatives in Dari can be formed by adding the prefix '''بیشترین''' (bishtarin) or '''ترین''' (tarin) to the adjective. This signifies that something possesses the highest degree of a particular quality within a group.
-But what if the adjective ends in a vowel like صاف (saaf) which means "clean"? In this case, we add -ترین (-tarin) to the end of the adjective:
+For example:
+* '''بیشترین/ترین + Adjective''' (superlative form)
+Here are a few examples of superlatives:
 {| class="wikitable"
-! Dari !! IPA !! English
+! Dari !! Pronunciation !! English
+|-
+| خوب || khub || good
+|-
+| بهترین || behtarin || best
 |-
-| صاف || saaf || clean
+| بزرگ || bozorg || big
 |-
-| صاف‌ترین || saaf-tarin || cleanest
-|}
-This rule applies to all adjectives that have a vowel in the last syllable.
+| بزرگترین || bozorgtarin || biggest
+|-
+| زیبا || zibā || beautiful
+|-
+| زیباترین || zibātarin || most beautiful
+|-
-== Basic Superlatives ==
+| کوچک || kuchak || small
-Superlative adjectives, on the other hand, are used to show the highest degree of a characteristic. We form superlatives by adding the suffix -ترین (-tarin) to the end of the adjective. For example:
+|-
+| کوچکترین || kuchaktarain || smallest
-{| class="wikitable"
-! Dari !! IPA !! English
 |-
-| خوش شانس || khosh-shans || lucky
+| سریع || sari' || fast
 |-
-| خوش‌شانس‌ترین || khosh-shans-tarin || luckiest
+| سریع‌ترین || sari'tarin || fastest
 |}
-As you can see, we have added the suffix -ترین to the end of the adjective خوش‌شانس (khosh-shans) to create the superlative form خوش‌شانس‌ترین (khosh-shans-tarin), which means "luckiest."
+=== Examples of Comparatives and Superlatives ===
+To illustrate the usage of comparatives and superlatives, let’s explore some practical examples. Here are 20 sentences demonstrating both forms:
