Объяснение
The form that expresses, by comparison, that an attribute is somewhat more or less than the norm is the comparative degree. It is formed by adding -roq to the positive adjective: balandroq (taller), chiroyliroq (prettier), issiqroq (hotter). The suffix is always -roq and is joined to the stem. The thing compared usually stands in the ablative (-dan): Bu uy anavi uydan balandroq (This house is taller than that one). The comparative is formed only from qualitative adjectives. In comparison, sometimes “more” is felt, sometimes “somewhat”.
