What are the comparative and superlative of word influential?

The word "influential" is already an adjective in its superlative form. It doesn't have comparative or superlative forms in the traditional way.

Here's why:

* Meaning: "Influential" means "having a great influence on someone or something." It's already implying a high level of influence.

* Usage: You wouldn't say "more influential" or "most influential" because it sounds redundant. Instead, you would use adverbs like "more" or "most" to modify the noun it describes:

* Example: "She is a more influential figure in the company than her boss."

* Example: "He is the most influential leader in the country."

You can also use other words to convey different levels of influence:

* Less influential: To indicate a lower level of influence.

* Highly influential: To emphasize a strong level of influence.

* Extremely influential: To suggest a very significant impact.

Ultimately, the best way to express different levels of influence depends on the context and the desired emphasis.
