What is the comparative and superlative of universal?

The word "universal" is already in the superlative form. There is no comparative or superlative form for this word.

"Universal" means "applying to all cases, or the whole world". It implies that something is all-encompassing and has no exceptions. You can't have something more universal than something that already applies to everything.

However, you can use different words to express degrees of universality:

* More widespread: This suggests that something is more common or prevalent than something else.

* More comprehensive: This suggests that something covers more ground or includes more aspects than something else.

* More global: This suggests that something has a wider reach or influence than something else.
