چکیده

In order to determine the adjectival relationship between Tati and English languages,
a number of samples and sentences have been compared and contrasted. The results have
shown that in Tati, like English language, simple adjectives appear before nouns. Adjectives
ending in vowels /α , 􀝋̈, i, u / , show a change in their phonetic forms in Tati , however, they
still appear before nouns. Comparative adjectives are constructed in Tati by adding the
morphemes / t æ r / at the end of the simple adjectives. But in English language, for
adjectives with one syllable, we add the suffix "er" at the end of the simple adjectives and
"than" for comparison. Having more than two syllables, adjectives take the word " more"
before and "than" after them for comparison in English language. Superlatives in Tati are
constructed by adding the morphemes / ein / at the end of simple adjectives. Superlatives
are also constructed in Tati by adding the term / h æ m i/ before comparative adjectives. On
the other hand, in English language superlatives are constructed by adding Article " the " at
the beginning of one-syllable adjectives and suffix "est" at the end of them. More over,
adjectives with more than one syllable take 'the most '' at the beginning of them . In the case
of superlatives in English language, we observe some irregularities such as good (simple
adjective), better (comparative) and the best (superlatives) . The findings in this study
reveal that unlike English language, superlatives never come before nouns in Tati.
