Spanish has influenced tagalog not only by adding Spanish words to the Tagalog vocabulary but also in Tagalog grammar. The comparative form of adjectives and adverbs are employed bu using the Spanish "mas" before the adjective or adverb.
Example:
1. Gwapo si Pedro. - Pedro is handsome.
2. Pero mas gwapo is Luigi sa kanya. - But Luigi is more handsome than him.
Mas gwapo raw si Jose kay Luigi. - They say Jose is more handsome than Luigi.
3. Pero si Luigi pa rin ang pinakagwapo, sabi ng nanay niya. - But Luigi is still the most handsome, according to his mom.
*Note that the prefix "pinaka-" was added to the adjective to make it in the superlative degree.
