Forming comparatives with “er” and “more” Exercises in Bosnian language

Forming comparatives in Bosnian involves understanding when to use the suffix "-ji" or the word "više" to convey the comparative degree of adjectives. Unlike English, where adjectives typically form comparatives with "-er" (e.g., "taller") or "more" (e.g., "more beautiful"), Bosnian follows a distinct pattern. For adjectives that are one syllable or end in a consonant, the suffix "-ji" is added (e.g., "brz" becomes "brži" for "faster"). Conversely, for adjectives with more syllables or those ending in specific vowel sounds, the word "više" is placed before the adjective (e.g., "interesantan" becomes "više interesantan" for "more interesting"). Understanding these rules is crucial for accurate communication and nuanced expression in Bosnian. Mastery of comparatives allows you to describe differences more precisely, whether you are discussing the weather, comparing cities, or evaluating personal experiences. The exercises provided here will guide you through the various scenarios and exceptions, helping you to practice and internalize the comparative forms in Bosnian. Through consistent practice, you will become more proficient in using comparatives, enhancing both your written and spoken Bosnian skills.
