In English, there are three degrees of comparison viz. positive, comparative and superlative.
Generally, we prefix “more” and “most” to an adjective for the comparative and superlative degrees.
Sometimes there are different words to indicate each degree e.g. good-better-best, Bad-worse-worst, tall- taller-tallest, etc.

In Marathi, we do not have this second way of comparison. i.e. adjectives do not change as per degree. Only words indicating degree are prefixed.

Example

Bitter: कडू (kaDU )
More bitter: जास्त/अधिक कडू (jAst/adhik kaDU)
Most bitter: “सर्वात” / “सर्वात जास्त” / “सर्वाधिक” कडू (sarvAt /sarvAt jAst/ sarvAdhik kaDU)

tall: उंच (uMch )
taller: जास्त / अधिक उंच (jAst/adhik uMch)
tallest: “सर्वात” / “सर्वात जास्त” / “सर्वाधिक” उंच (sarvAt jAst/ sarvAdhik uMch)

Good: चांगला (chAMgalA)
better: जास्त / अधिक चांगला (jAst/adhik chAMgalA)
best: “सर्वात” / “सर्वात जास्त” / “सर्वाधिक चांगला (sarvAt / sarvAt jAst/ sarvAdhik chAMgalA)
