The superlative forms by adding ''-ain-'' between the adjective and the gender mark (nivi - niv'''ain'''i 'the tallest'). To mean "the least", ''-uin-'' is placed in said position (nivi - niv'''uin'''i 'the least tall'). Superlative adjectives need the partitive case for the noun they describe, so "the tallest building" would be ''nivaini getox'''ku''''' where ''getox'' (building) has the partitive case mark ''-ku''. Adjectives in Naibas use plural marks if the noun is absent: ''nivixo'' (the tall ones). | |||
