#40 "Normalest"? Or "mest normal"? - three rules of comparative and superlative use [grammatikk]]

from The Norwegian puzzle - find your missing pieces · host Silje Linn Moss

Send us Fan MailWe start with the quick foundation: how comparative and superlative forms work (think -ere and -est), and why the English habit of avoiding endings on “long words” doesn’t translate cleanly into Norwegian. From there, we move into the real skill: spotting the adjectives that refuse to inflect, so you can stop guessing and start sounding natural.We also talk about why using mer and mest for everything can sound a bit off, how a dictionary can confirm what’s allowed, and how “less” and “least” push you straight into "mindre" and "minst". Stick around for a short quiz at the end to test your instinct and lock in the rules.
