What is the comparative and superlative form of humble?

Here's the breakdown of the comparative and superlative forms of "humble":

* Humble is already an adjective, and it doesn't have a traditional comparative or superlative form like "bigger" or "biggest." This is because "humble" is considered an absolute adjective, meaning it describes a quality that can't be measured on a scale.

Instead of using comparative and superlative forms, we often use phrases to express different degrees of humbleness:

* More humble: This phrase emphasizes a greater degree of humbleness.

* Most humble: This phrase emphasizes the highest degree of humbleness.

Example:

* "John is more humble than his brother."

* "She is one of the most humble people I know."
