Degree of comparison is inflectional feature of some [adjectives](hy-pos/ADJ) and [adverbs](hy-pos/ADV).

The second degree of adjective or adverb is modified through adverbs ավելի “more”. We only annotate this adverb with the Second Degree feature.

Note that the Third Degree of adverbs in Armenian is constructed with the feature of `Definitness`() without additional derivation.

### `Pos`: positive, first degree

This is the base form that merely states a quality of something, without comparing it to qualities of others. Note that although this
degree is traditionally called "positive", negative properties can be compared, too.

#### Examples

* _<b>խելացի</b> մարդ&nbsp;_ “<b>clever</b> man”
* _<b>լավ</b> երաժիշտ&nbsp;_ “<b>good</b> musician”
* _<b>նոր</b> նմուշ&nbsp;_ “<b>new</b> exemplar”
* _ նա <b>արագ</b> է քայլում&nbsp;_ “he walks <b>quickly</b>”

### `Cmp`: comparative, second degree

The quality of one object is compared to the same quality of another object.

#### Examples

* _<b>ավելի խելացի</b> մարդ&nbsp;_ “<b>cleverer</b> man”
* _<b>ավելի լավ</b> երաժիշտ&nbsp;_ “<b>better</b> musician”
* _<b>ավելի նոր</b> նմուշ&nbsp;_ “<b>newer</b> exemplar”
* _նա <b>ավելի արագ</b> է քայլում&nbsp;_ “he walks <b>more quickly</b>”

### `Sup`: superlative, third degree

The quality of one object is compared to the same quality of all other objects within a set.

#### Examples

* _նա մեր խմբի <b>ամենախելացի</b> մարդն է&nbsp;_ “he is the <b>cleverest</b> man in our group”
* _նա մեր խմբի <b>լավագույն</b> երաժիշտն է&nbsp;_ “he is the <b>best</b> musician in our group”
* _սա <b>ամենանորագույն</b> նմուշն է&nbsp;_ “this is the <b>very newest</b> exemplar”
* _նա <b>ամենաարագն</b> է քայլում&nbsp;_ “he walks <b>the most quickly</b>”
