What is the superlative and comparative form of Merry?

"Merry" is an adjective, and it doesn't have a regular comparative or superlative form. It's not a word that typically expresses degrees of merriment.

Here's why:

* Meaning: "Merry" describes a state of joyful celebration or being cheerful. It's not something you can be *more* or *most* of in the same way you can be *taller* or *stronger*.

* Usage: We often use other words to express greater degrees of merriment, like "joyful," "delighted," "ecstatic," or "elated."

Here's an example:

* Instead of saying "He was the most merry person there," you might say, "He was the most joyful person there."

So, while "merry" doesn't have a traditional comparative or superlative form, we can use other words to express similar concepts with varying degrees of intensity.
