There are short adjectives and long ones.

I am nicer than Emily.

France is bigger than Israel.

Now the superlative form:

I am the nicest man.

France is the biggest country.

In this case, you add -st or -est at the end of the adjective.

Now for the comparative of long adjectives:

English is more important than French.
