| Feb 6, 2015 at 9:07 | comment | added | M.A.R. | I've learned this as a rule of thumb: One syllable adjs get "-er" as in cleaner, brighter etc. but adjectives with more than one syllable get "more" as in more expensive. The exceptions are adjs that end with "y". For instance, it's "freakier" rather than "more freaky". I'm leaving this as a comment since I don't sense it's comprehensive. | |
