| has gloss | fin: Komparatiivi eli voittoaste on adjektiivin tai adverbin vertailuaste. Se ilmaisee ominaisuuden suurempaa määrää. Komparatiivia käytetään suomen kirjakielessä vain vertailussa. Puhekielessä käytettävä niin sanottu absoluuttinen komparatiivi ei ole suomen kielen normatiivisen kieliopin mukainen. Esimerkiksi jos paikalla sanotaan olleen vanhempi nainen, kirjakielisessä merkityksessä tarkoitetaan, että tietyistä kahdesta naisesta oli paikalla vanhempi. Absoluuttinen komparatiivi esiintyy kirjakielessä vain tietyissä virkanimikkeissä kuten vanhempi konstaapeli ja sanonnoissa kuten ei hullumpi ehdotus. |
