Understand Comparative/Superlative in Ukrainian
How does it work the comparative/superlative in Ukrainian?
for example:
in english
Jenya is beautiful
Your sister is more beautiful than you
Your sister is the most beautiful girl in the world
In these times i don't understand if Marco is faster or Yulia slower in doing their work!
in italian works this way
Jenya è bella
Tua sorella Jenya è più bella di te (more = è più , than = di, [rarely che])
Tua sorella Jenya è la piu bella ragazza di tutto il mondo (the most la più [f] il più [m], in the = nel)
Di questi tempi non capisco se sia più veloce Marco o più lenta Yulia nel compiere il suo lavoro!
more = più
than = di/che
most = il più

There are 2 ways to form the comparative of adjectives.
1. we use suffixes -ш- /sh/ , -іш- /ish/ :
чарівний /tcharivnyi/ + іш = чарівніший /tcharivnishyi/ (lovely - lovelier)
червоний - червоніший (red - redder)
розумний - розумніший (smart - smarter)
високий - вищий (tall - taller)
2. or we put the word більш /bil'sh/ (more) before the adjective:
високий - більш високий
The Superlative form
1. with the help of the prefix най- /nai/ which we put to the comperative form of an adjetive:
вищий - найвищий
розумний - найрозумніший
2. we put the word "найбільш" before an adjective:
розумний - найбільш розумний
So,
Женя гарна.
Твоя сестра гарніша ніж ти/за тебе. (ніж ти/за тебе = than you are)
Твоя сестра Женя найгрніша дівчина у всьому світі.
We can say these sentences in another way (2nd variant):
Женя гарна.
Твоя сестра більш гарна ніж ти/за тебе.
Твоя сестра Женя найбільш гарна дівчина у всьому світі.
