Review Summary

  • Adj + -ši
  • Naj + Adj + -ši

Erros comuns

In Slovenian, you don't need 'bolj' (more) when you use the -ši suffix. It's redundant.

Wrong: Ta kava je bolj lepša.
Correto: Ta kava je lepša.

The prefix 'naj-' must be attached directly to the adjective without a space.

Wrong: To je naj lepši dan.
Correto: To je najlepši dan.

When comparing, use 'od' (from) followed by the genitive case, not 'kot' (as/like).

Wrong: On je starejši kot jaz.
Correto: On je starejši od mene.
