What are the comparatives and superlatives of nothing?

There are no comparative or superlative forms for the word "nothing" because it already expresses the idea of an absolute absence or zero quantity. It represents a complete lack or non-existence of something.

Therefore, any attempt to form a comparative or superlative would result in a contradiction. For example, there can't be a "lesser" or "greater" state of nothingness.

In formal linguistic terms, "nothing" is considered an incomparable concept. It stands as a unique and absolute quantity, unable to be compared or exceeded in terms of its absence or non-existence.
