Is it correct to say sadder or should it be more sad?

Answer 1

"Sadder" is correct. Adjectives of only one syllable (except "good" and "bad", which are irregular) and most adjectives of exactly two syllables form the comparative form with the suffix "-er" and if the adjective ends with a single consonant preceded by a single vowel, the consonant is usually doubled in the comparative form spelling.

Answer 2

Oh, dude, you can totally say both! "Sadder" is the comparative form of "sad," so you can use it when you're comparing two things. "More sad" is the comparative form of "sad" too, so you can use it when you're feeling extra fancy. It's like choosing between a regular burger and a gourmet burger - they both get the job done, but one just sounds a bit fancier, you know?

Answer 3

Both "sadder" and "more sad" are correct comparatives to use when describing emotions. "Sadder" is more commonly used in spoken English, while "more sad" is more formal.
