 ====Comparative====
-The comparative form of adjectives is formed by adding (-ere)/(-ara) to the adjective.  The word 'en' precedes the noun being compared.
+The comparative form of adjectives is formed by adding (-ere)/(-ara) to the adjective.  The word 'en' precedes the noun being compared.  The adjective is inflected for the gender of the first noun being compared.
 For example:
-*Den man er strungere ennd den flyge</i> -  The man is stronger than that girl.
+*''den man er strungere en danne jinte'' -  ''the man is stronger than that girl.
-If something is being compared on the same level, 'somm' is used after the adjective.
+If something is being compared on the same level, (så) is used before the adjective, and (som) is used after. Additionally, the noun is not inflected, as the two nouns being compared are of equal status.
-*<i>Den mann er strung somm den flyge</i> - The man is as strong as the girl.
+*''danne jinte er så strung som danne jinte</i> - that girl is (just) as strong as that girl.
-If something is being compared as less than something, 'minntre' is used before the adjective, and 'somm' is used before the other noun.
+If something is being compared as less than another noun, (mintre)/(mintra) is used before the adjective, and (som) is used after.  The adjective is inflected normally for the gender of the first noun. This can also be acheived by saying ''X er ikke så ____ som Y''
-*<i>Den mann er minntre strung somm den flyge</i> - The man is weaker than the woman.  (This can also be formed with the adjective weak, or by using 'ikke' before 'minntre', making 'not as strong')
+*''det hus er mintre smukt en dette hus</i> - The house is less beautiful than that house.
