You're probably referring to the forms of an adjectivethat ends with 'y'. The comparative form drops the 'y' and adds 'ier', the superlative form drops the 'y' and adds 'iest'. Some examples are:

  • happy, happier, happiest
  • funny, funnier, funniest
  • chewy, chewier, chewiest
  • silly, sillier, silliest
  • wary, warier, wariest
  • phony, phonier, phoniest

What is the comparative and superlative degree of splendid?

In monosyllabic words, the comparative and the superlative are usually made by adding -er or -est respectively. For two syllables when the word ends in "y," change the "y" to an "i" and add -er and -est. For two syllables not ending in "y" and for words of more than two syllables, regardless of what they end in, the word is preceded by "more" or "most." The word "splendid" is no exception. The comparative is "more splendid," and the superlative is "most splendid."
