Comparison
Slovenian,
like English, forms comparatives in two ways:
1.
the comparative is formed with the word bolj (more), and superlative
with najbolj (most)
2.
the comparative is formed with suffixes, which are -ejssi -
si and -ji; the superlative is formed by adding the
prefix naj- onto the comparative. Polysyllabic adjectives
form the comparative by means of ejssi (ljubezniv - ljubeznivejssi).
