What is the comparative and superlative of sorry?

There are no comparative or superlative forms for the adjective "sorry."

"Sorry" is an adjective that expresses regret or remorse. It does not describe a quality that can be compared or ranked in terms of degree.

You could express different levels of regret using other words or phrases:

* More regretful: "I am deeply sorry," "I am truly sorry," "I am very sorry."

* Most regretful: "I am incredibly sorry," "I am profoundly sorry."

But, you wouldn't say "sorrier" or "sorriest."
