Adjectives can express the comparative and superlative.
הַקָּטֹן אָחִיו ‘his brother who (was) younger’ (Gen 48:19)
Note: comparison is often expressed with the preposition מִן.
מִמֶּ֫נָּה טוֹבָה ‘(she is) better than her’ (Judg 15:2)
הַגְּדוֹלָה בִּתִּי ‘my daughter who (is) oldest’ (1 Sam 18:17)
Note: superlative is also expressed by a construct phrase in which both construct and absolute use the same noun.
קֳדָשִׁים קֹ֫דֶשׁ ‘holy of holies’ = ‘most holy’ (Exod 29.37)
''Pridjevi mogu izražavati komparativ i superlativ. הַקָּטֹן אָחִיו 'njegov brat koji je (bio) mlađi' (Post 48:19) Napomena: usporedba se često izražava s prijedlogom מִן. מִמֶּ֫נָּה טוֹבָה ‘(ona je) bolja od nje’ (Sud 15,2) הַגְּדוֹלָה בִּתִּי 'moja kći koja (je) najstarija' (1 Sam 18:17) Napomena: superlativ se također izražava konstruktivnom frazom u kojoj i konstrukt i apsolut koriste istu imenicu. קֳדָשִׁים קֹ֫דֶשׁ ‘svetinja nad svetinjama’ = ‘presveta’ (Izl 29,37)''
