Comparing with Mere and Mest
While short adjectives usually add -ere and -est, longer or more complex adjectives use mere (more) and mest (most). This applies to words with multiple syllables, words ending in -isk (like praktisk), and adjectives that come from verbs (like spændende or kompliceret).
To form the comparative, simply place mere before the adjective. The adjective itself doesn't change.
| Why is the conversation more interesting now? | Hvorfor er samtalen mere interessant nu? |
| The modern solution is more practical. | Den moderne løsning er mere praktisk. |
| His romantic situation is more complicated now. | Hans romantiske situation er mere kompliceret nu. |
Superlatives and Definite Endings
To say something is "the most", use mest.
Remember that when an adjective follows a definite article (den or det), it must take the definite -e ending. This rule still applies when mest is in front of the adjective!
| What is the most practical solution? | Hvad er den mest praktiske løsning? |
| The most romantic story is also the most interesting. | Den mest romantiske historie er også den mest interessante. |
If the adjective already ends in -e—which is true for all adjectives ending in -ende (like spændende)—it simply stays exactly the same.
| It is the most exciting exhibition in the city. | Det er den mest spændende udstilling i byen. |
