What is the comparative for patient?

The comparative form of “patient” is “more patient”.

Since “patient” is a two-syllable adjective that doesn’t end in -y, it forms the comparative by adding “more” before it, instead of using the -er suffix.

Example Sentences:

1. She is patient with children.
2. He is more patient than his brother when solving problems.
3. Among all the staff, she seems to be the most patient.

In English, adjectives with two or more syllables often use “more” for the comparative and “most” for the superlative. “Patient” follows this rule, emphasizing varying degrees of calmness or tolerance in situations.
