Adjectives and adverbs have 3 different forms to show degrees of comparison.

Positive degree is the base form of the adjective or adverb; it does not show comparison. An example would be "a tall tree" which is a positive degree adjective. This means the tree is not being compared to anything.

Comparative degree is the form an adjective or adverb takes to compare two things. An example for comparative degree would be "a taller tree." This means that two trees are being compared in which one tree is taller than the other.

Superlative degree is the form an adjective or adverb takes to compare three or more things. "Tallest tree" is a superlative degree, comparing 3 or more trees.

Comparison of English and Russian adjectives?

Using adjectives in English tends to be simpler. English employs just one form of the adjective, whereas the adjective in Russian could change based on its use in the sentence or the other words around it. In addition, Russian classifies its adjectives into three categories: normal, short, and comparative. English does not divide adjectives this way.
