 Good, Better, Best |
Commparatives and superlatives in Chinese are formed by adding an extra word or two to the original modifier. The pattern is always the same. For example: |
|||
 |
|||
| good | hao | ||
| better | hao yi dian ( yi xie ) | ||
| even better | geng hao | ||
| best | zui hao | ||
| fast | kuai | ||
| faster | kuai yi dian ( yi xie ) | ||
| even faster | geng kuai | ||
| fastest | zui kuai | ||
