  1. Apr 25, 2009 · I want to make a sentence containing the adjective evil in its superlative form. But I really got confused whether to choose the evilest or the most evil.

  2. Dec 14, 2011 · Dec 14, 2011. #1. Hi there everyone. What's the comparative form of the adjective evil? According to the rule it should be "more evil" since it is a two-syllable adjective, but I heard Fry from Futurama saying that Bender had become "eviller". Is that correct? Thanks in advance.

  3. Oct 11, 2005 · UK, English. Oct 12, 2005. #3. The saying 'evil is as evil does' is a way of counteracting that tendency we have of dividing the world up into good and bad (or good and evil), and then forgiving the transgressions of those we consider good while condemning the crimes of those we consider bad (and being suspicious of their good deeds).

  4. Nov 18, 2009 · Nov 18, 2009. #1. I'm a little confused regarding the word "شَرِّ" in classical Arabic. In some places it holds the definition of "Evil", in other cases it would mean bad, or worst! أُوْلَـٰٓٮِٕكَ هُمۡ شَرُّ ٱلۡبَرِيَّةِ. And of course other places meaning evil. مِن شَرِّ مَا خَلَقَ.

  6. Aug 28, 2018 · I long to alleviate the evil, but I cannot, and I too suffer. Dreambliss, I think Russell could have written "evils" if he were meaning the specific evils he'd listed in the previous sentence (famine, torture, helplessness, loneliness, poverty, pain) but he didn't want to imply he thought he'd made an exhaustive list of the possible types of ...

  7. Sep 2, 2017 · The only popular name for conjunctivitis that I know of is 'pink eye'. 1) She has an evil eye. 2) He gave me an the evil eye when I was on my way to work and I got into an accident. 3) He is ill because somebody has given gave him an the evil eye. 4) That child has got evil (means somebody gave him an evil eye) was given the evil eye and became ...

  8. Feb 28, 2019 · Feb 28, 2019. #2. Only your third sentence is correct. Used as an uncountable noun you don't use 'the'. The second one is not colloquial or natural. You would only use the countable 'evils' when you are thinking about specific different evils: See the difference between: Greed, prejudice and hate are the evils that beset the world today.
