Use 'daha' to compare two things, showing that one has more of a quality than the other. Use 'en' when you want to express that something has the most of a quality among a group.

Tips

- 'En' is used for the superlative, always before the adjective or adverb.
- Do not add any extra endings to the adjective/adverb after 'daha' or 'en'.
