In Croatian grammar, adjectives can be compared in order to describe differences in qualities between two or more items, people, or situations, just like in English. There are three forms of comparison for adjectives: the basic form (pozitiv), the comparative form (komparativ), and the superlative form (superlativ). The comparative form indicates that a quality is greater in one item compared to another, while the superlative form points to the highest degree of a quality among a group of items. In this exercise, we will practice using and recognizing the comparative and superlative forms of adjectives in Croatian.
