What is the comparative and superlative of silent?

There are no comparative or superlative forms of the adjective "silent". This is because "silent" is an absolute adjective, meaning it describes a state that cannot be compared in degrees.

You can't be "more silent" or "most silent" than someone else. You are either silent or you are not.

If you want to express different levels of quietness, you can use words like:

* Quiet (less noisy than silent)

* Hush (very quiet)

* Soundless (completely without sound)

* Still (without movement or sound)
