What is the opposite to the word 'superlative'?
Apologies if this doesn't make much sense, it's late at night and it's a very difficult thing to phrase anyway! :)
Answers:
DIMINUTIVE is the correct answer technically.
All the others given may have opposite meaning but thats like saying the opposite of dehydrated is humid.
That would be the pejorative.
Abysmal
ordinary
unknown
underling
underplayed
disaster... I like that one now
tragic... not too bad there
disastrous... best
you get the idea
In grammar, the superlative form of a word is the most intense degree or state of the word's definition. In this previous sentence, "most intense" is the superlative of "intense." We say, "intense," "more intense," and "most intense." The word "worst" is the superlative of "bad."
But you're asking about another use of "superlative." I'd suggest as opposites "abysmal," "minimal," "ruined," "unrecognizable."
the 'pits'.
