• An adjective is a word which describes something. • Degrees of adjectives:

Comparative degree

Superlative degree-est/most

• The adjectives that are formed by two ways are these:

farther-farthest

Far further- furthest

nearest Near - nearer next

later-latest

Late latter- last

older -oldest

Old elder - eldest

• Farther means distance but further means both distance and time and is translated as “sonra,daha,əlavə”.• Ex: Don’t go farther/ further.• Let’s speak about our further (farther) plans.• Farthest , furthest also means distance and is translated as “ən uzaq”.• Ex: The farthest/furthest distance I have run is ten miles.

While nearest indicates distance, next indicates line. Nearest is translated as “ən yaxın”, next is translated as “o biri, gələn”.

Ex: It is the nearest way to our village. The next year he could enter the institute.

Older notifies time, age and is translated as “yaşlı, köhnə.” Elder is used to show older person among the members of the family. It is translated as “böyük”. Elder is never used with the conjunction “than”.
