What is it about?
The paper is about Ukrainian comparative adjectives, both regular and suppletive. The data is described within the framework of Nanosyntax.

Why is it important?
Czech and Slovak comparative adjectives have been described in detail by Vanden Wyngaerd et al. (2020) and Caha et al. (2019). However, there has been no thorough analysis of Ukrainian comparatives. I believe the paper is important as it not only accounts for the formation of Ukrainian comparative adjectives, but also contributes to the discussion of comparative adjectives in Slavic. It might help to create a full picture of Slavic comparatives.
Perspectives
It was a pleasure working on this paper, as (a) Ukrainian is my native language; (b) comparatives are always fun to work on; (c) Slavic comparatives have puzzles that have not been fully solved. I hope this article makes a nice contribution to the study of comparative adjectives.
