Let's take a look at some adjectives.
It's actually really easy to turn these adjectives in a comparative by just adding "-er".
Ok, in the last example you might have noticed that we didn't add "-er", but "-der". This is because duur ends with an r. To make the sound easier to pronounce and more clear, a d is added. This also happens with lekkerder, raarder and verder, to name a few.
If you put the noun behind the comparative, you have to take the rule of the "e" into account.
Let's continue with the adjectives we used above: mooi, leuk, interessant and duur.
To make a superlative you add "het" in front of the adjective and "-st(e)" behind it.
If the noun is behind the verb, you have to take the rule of the "e" into account (again, below you'll find a link to a profound explanation). Also, you have to use "het" or "de" depending on the word.
There are a few adjectives that have an irregular comparative and/or superlative.
