Heavy: zwaar / zwaarder / de/het zwaarst; Proud: hoogmoedig / meer hoogmoedig / de/het meest hoogmoedig But according to Google Translate, another word for proud is trots, so trotser / de trotsst!? (I only used Google Translate for the base adjective, not the comparative and superlative.) For aller, we would usually use very in English: Hij is de allerbeste person… = He is the very best person (for the job).
Thanks Stephen! I was indeed referring to ‘trots’. Because it already ends with S, we don’t need an extra S in de superlative degree. Example: Ik ben de trotste vader van de wereld.
Another very useful video Vinod. Thank you.
What about those adjectives with more than one syllable like we add in English more the most ."
I assume that the article in the superlative depends on the noun that follows.
That is correct. Examples:
Dat is het grootste huis in de straat.
Februari is de kortste maand van het jaar.
What word should we use for than in the sentence 'This pan is hotter than that one.'?
That would ‘dan’.
Deze pan is heter dan die (pan).
