For one-syllable adjectives, "-er" is added for the comparative and "-est" for the superlative. Exceptions are made for adjectives ending in "e" or a single consonant followed by a vowel. For two-syllable adjectives, "more" and "most" are generally used, while exceptions exist for adjectives ending in "y". Adjectives with three or more syllables also take "more" and "most". Irregular adjectives like "buen", "mal", "lejos" have their own comparative and superlative
