I am wondering if qualitative and qualitatively is the adj and adv forms of quality? According to the Collins dictionary, quality itself can also be adjective.
- of high quality -- quality goods
It seems to me that quality and qualitative mean differently when being adjective.
Another dictionary on my phone says there is no comparative or superlative form for the adjective word - quality. Is it true? If yes, why?
Quality: Quality products. OK.
High quality products become: higher (or better) quality products or higher (or better) quality of product, lower quality products or lower quality of product, the best quality products or the best quality of product; the worst quality products or the worst quality of product; the lowest quality products or the lower quality of product.
That is how to do the comparative. This is just like the comparatives for words like expensive. Many adjectives with two or more syllables. That's how you do it.
for adjectives of three or more syllables: expensive, inexpensive, illustrious, crushing, etc. Those are just examples that would follow this pattern.
