Usage

Use this template to show the inflection line of an English adjective.

This template shows the adjective in bold (optionally linking its components) and its comparative and superlative inflections, if any.

{{en-adj}}
{{en-adj|er}}
{{en-adj|…|er}}
{{en-adj|…er|…est}}
{{en-adj|pos= |… |…}} <!-- for detailed notes -->

If the adjective is absolute, the template can indicate such:

{{en-adj|-}}
{{en-adj|pos=… |-}}

This template contains the necessary meta-data to allow users who are using accelerated editing to create any grammatical forms semi-automatically.

Parameters

If the adjective forms its comparative and superlative with the particles more and most, no parameters are necessary. E.g. on “beautiful”:

===Adjective===

{{en-adj}}

The above code displays as follows:

Positive '''more beautiful'''

Comparative '''most beautiful'''

Superlative none

If the adjective forms its comparative and superlative by adding -er and -est, specify that with the argument er, e.g. on “tall”:

{{en-adj|er}} gives:

Positive taller

Comparative tallest

Superlative none

If the adjective forms its comparative and superlative by changing its ending (e.g., by dropping its -y to add -ier), use two parameters, e.g. on “pretty” and “late”:

{{en-adj|pretti|er}} gives:

Positive prettier

Comparative prettiest

Superlative none

{{en-adj|lat|er}} gives:

Positive later

Comparative latest

Superlative none

If the adjective has an irregular comparative or superlative, specify them, e.g. on “good”:

{{en-adj|better|best}} gives:

Positive better

Comparative best

Superlative none

If the adjective is absolute, use “-”, e.g. on “annual”:

{{en-adj|-}} gives:

Positive -

Comparative none

Superlative none

If the adjective has both an -er/-est and a more/most form of the comparative and superlative, use a “more” parameter after specifying the -er form, e.g. on “abject”:

{{en-adj|er|more}} gives:

Positive '''abjecter or more abject'''

Comparative '''abjectest or most abject'''

Superlative none

If the adjective has other non-standard comparative or superlative forms or requires custom positive, comparative, or superlative notes, specify the forms with wiki markup, using a pos argument for the positive, if required, e.g. on “little known” (fictitious example):

{{en-adj|pos=[[little]] [[known]]|depending on meaning either '''[[lesser]] known''' or '''[[littler]] known'''|least known or [[littlest]] known}} gives:

Positive [[depending on meaning either lesser known or littler known]]

Comparative [[least known or littlest known]]

Superlative none

If the comparative is custom or irregular, and the superlative form is “most” and the adjective, the superlative form can be omitted, eg: on “funky” (fictitious example):

{{en-adj|funkier}} gives:

Positive funkier

Comparative '''most funky'''

Superlative none

When the inflection is unknown or uncertain, use a question mark (?) as the first parameter. Such information can still be added to the entry later, and this avoids having to give potentially false information. This is a fictitious example for Afrikaans:

{{en-adj|?}} gives:

Afrikaans
