Music might provide a partial answer to the OP's question. Or, what is the longest sequence of adjectives that we can describe things with different degrees of slowness? I am looking for a word for slow in this case.īonus question: if there is also an object C that is slower than B, what word would you use to describe C given C is faster than 'not moving'. The ideal answer would be the case that: once one said A is slow, B is xxx (where xxx is answer), then we will have no doubt that B is slower than A.Īnother example, when someone said A is warm and B is hot, then we know that B is warmer than A. For example, given an object A you describe its speed is 'slow', and you know that the speed of object B is slower than that of object A, then what is the best word you use to describe the speed of B?

To further clarify my question, I am not looking for an adjective to describe something that one think might be slow but, instead, in a more objective way. Can I know what are the possible candidates or, better, the best word for it? I am trying to find an adjective describing 'very slow'.

What is another word for slow
