Comparative

Glossary

Adjectives can have three degrees, called positive (e.g., good), comparative (e.g., better) and superlative (e.g., best).

Better is in the ** degree** since it is making a comparison between two things.

Example: LUK 5:39
ὁ παλαιὸς χρηστός ἐστιν
ho palaios chrēstos estin
the old better it is
the old is better
