The first time DuoLingo gives you a new word, it will be highlighted, and you can mouse over it (or any underlined word) to see the definition.
You can make text on site bigger(or rather whole site) by using ctrl+mouse wheel up shortcut. To make it smaller use ctrl+mouse wheel down. Or if you prefer keyboard shortcuts you can use ctrl+'+' and ctrl+'-'. Eventually if you want to come back to original size you can click on new icon on search bar. Depending on your browser it can be magnifier or addiction number in percentages.

If you put two fingers on the screen at the same time and move them apart it may make things bigger.

This is about the degrees of comparison. It's easier to begin with English. In English, the adjective "great" denotes the "positive" degree, "greater" denotes the "comparative" degree, and "greatest" denotes the "superlative" degree.
Here in Arabic, "Kabir" is the "positive" adjective, "akbar+preposition" makes a comparative adjective, and "akbar+noun" makes a superlative construction.
