Superlatives

• Superlatives are used to show extreme characteristics. For example: the greatest, the loudest, the most interesting, the least interesting.
• In English, these are usually words that end with the suffix "-est" (smartest, bravest, fastest)
• There is no "-est" suffix in Spanish, so we instead show this with our grammar
  • For example: She is the smartest--> She is the most smart. He is the fastest--> He is the most fast. They are the slowest--> They are the most slow OR They are the least fast.
• So, we can rewrite "She is the smartest" as "She is the most smart" or "Ella es la más inteligente"
• Or, we can rewrite "He is the fastest" as "He is the most fast" or "Él es el más rápido"
• There are 4 irregular comparison words: mejor (better), peor (worse), mayor (older), menor (younger). With these words, we do not use más/menos.
  • Ex: Frozen es mejor que Wreck it Ralph. Mi padre es mayor que mi madre.
  • Ex: Frozen es el mejor. Mi padre es el mayor.
