And why no inferior elatives and excessives (‘David is very little smart/hardly smart at all’ and ‘David is not smart enough’)? | |

The prefix "sing-" means "as ... as". tangkad - tall, ko - me or my, kapatid na babae - sister. Superlative "tallest" is "pinakamatangkad". Elative "very tall" is "napakatangkad". | |
