Greek
Etymology
Inherited from Ancient Greek συνήθης (sunḗthēs).
Pronunciation
- IPA(key): /siˈniθis/
Adjective
συνήθης • (syníthis) m (feminine συνήθης, neuter σύνηθες)
Declension
The relative comparative with πιο is chiefly used with the participle συνηθισμένος (synithisménos). Here, the absolute comparative συνηθέστερος (synithésteros) is more appropriate.
The relative superlative with article e.g. ο πιο is also chiefly used with the participle συνηθισμένος (synithisménos). The expected absolute superlative συνηθέστατος (synithéstatos) is expected for this formal adjective.
