Missing convert adjectives to their original form

[snowyu]

There is no method to convert adjectives to their original form.

There are toComparative and toSuperlative methods, but toOriginal (toRoot) is not exposed:

compromise/src/3-three/adjectives/plugin.js

Lines 3 to 13 in 2831ad3

	const toRoot = function (adj) {
	const { fromComparative, fromSuperlative } = adj.methods.two.transform.adjective
	let str = adj.text('normal')
	if (adj.has('#Comparative')) {
	return fromComparative(str, adj.model)
	}
	if (adj.has('#Superlative')) {
	return fromSuperlative(str, adj.model)
	}
	return str
	}

Hey @snowyu you're right - I may have that conjugation model somewhere. I forget why it was excluded from the API - there may have been a good reason.
Let me pull it up in Monday and get back to you properly then.

👍, For me, I need to use it simply to normalize the adjective as well. The conjugate() API is too weird for this usage.

hey @snowyu - I can add a .superlatives().normalize() and a .comparatives().normalize() to the next release, if that would help you. Let me know if that works.
cheers

you're looking for this transformation, right?
it was the snowiest day ever -> it was the snowy day ever
it was snowier than yesterday -> it was snowy than yesterday

Yes, but .superlatives().normalize() is a bit strange, why not .adjectives().normalize() as direct?
