hi puys
was out of activity for a couple of months.neways i would like to share a small trick with all of u(thou many of u might be aware of it).
i saw the discussion above about superlatives.one request to all people,if one's voicing his/her opinion not enough sure abt the answers then please mention "CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG".it helps many not to take the answers for granted and fall into flaws later.


anyways here goes the trick(relax its not self-generated by me)
1.we can use -er,-est with the words having single syllable.e.g.wisest,smartest,smarter.
we add the word MORE to the words having more than one syllable.exp.more beautiful,more handsome etc.
2.when two qualities of a person is compared, the first word will take MORE even if its single syllable.e.g.ram is more wiser than hard working.its wrong to say ram is wise than hard working.
when a single quality is on focus between two persons then we dont add MORE.e.g.ram is wiser than hari.(not most wiser or more wiser as clearly indicated by user DEVILS_OWN).
3.Absolute words are never comparable.we cant place more or most before them.e.g.infinite,perfect,etc.(more perfect,most oustanding has no meaning)

hope this helps many ppl

@bantee: I don't know if your remarks were general or particularly aimed at me, cos I have already mentioned in my post that I'm to be corrected if I were wrong.
I have just tried to pitch in with the understanding I had of the subject.

hey relax guys,my purport is clear and not pointing any1.its for people's benefit if we take care while posting answers cuz am sure there are many people who take our answers for granted.thats all.we r all good friends here.killing CAT needs our combined effort and we should be goaded everytime with our friend's views or remarks.
cheers

@pooja: quit worrying... Lets get back to some fruitful grammar discussion..
guys , drop in with some questions... so we can chew on them for a while..

[kewl.bantee]

a small trick for using comparatives
1. adjectives which end with -er take than e.g.smarter than,wiser than etc.but it has some exceptions like refer to etc.

2. adjectives which end with -or take to e.g.inferior to,etc.

cheers
