[edit] Comparison
The degrees of comparison are indicated by means of special words, not by means of endings. This is in accordance with the prevailing tendency in most languages.
Examples:

The use of the same word kam in these comparisons makes it possible to say, e.g., lo es tam brav o plu brav kam lon fratro he is as brave as, or braver than his brother.
Cf. under Particles on tam, kam, quam.
The superlative is indicated by maxim or minim: lo es li maxim bravi (li minim bravi) inter li fratres (or ek li fratres) .
The rules here given for the comparative and superlative are, of course, applicable to those adverbs as well that admit of comparison: plu bald sooner; min utilim in a less useful way.
