=== Degrees of comparison ===
Femps adjectives have two degrees of comparison: comparative and superaltive.
The comparative is formed by attaching the suffix ''-iroce'' to the adjectival root, for instance:
* ('''''ciorio''''' 'good') ''Emme '''cioriroce''' da sy.'' ('I am '''better''' than you')
* ('''''egio''''' 'tall') ''Y né sceö cono '''egiroce'''.'' ('There is a '''taller''' man')
The superlative is formed by attaching the suffix ''-isto'' to the adjectival root, for instance:
* ('''''ciorio''''' 'good') ''Emme '''cioristo''' li plittire.'' ('I am '''the best''' at swimming')
* ('''''egio''''' 'tall') ''Né ho cono '''egisto'''.'' ('This is the tallest man')
