SUPERLATIVES

They are used to compare 3 or more things, animals or people, remember that we used to compare adjectives. Rules: A) for short adjectives = the + adj. Short + is. Ex: Your father is the oldest of all here. (iur fader is oldest of all ji di .. r) (Your father is the oldest of all here) B) adj. Short ending in "y" = the + adj. Short + changed the "y" to "iest". Ex: Today I am the happiest person in the world. (tudei i am japiest person in the world) (now I'm the happiest person in the world) C) if a short adjective ends in a consonant and a vowel comes before, then first put "the", then double the consonant and then add "est". Ex: Your idea is the biggest of all. (iur aidi is de bigest ov ol) (your idea is the greatest of all) D) for adj. Lengths = just put "the most (for most) (the most)" or "the least (of li .. st) (least) before the adjective. Ex: That food is the most expensive one. (dat is de most expensive fud Wuan) (the food is more expensive) Your girlfriend is the least beautiful in the classroom. (iur grlfrend is de li .. st biutiful in de clasrum) (your girlfriend is the least attractive in the classroom) E) = irregular superlatives are adjectives to be used when so superlative, completely change his writing: For good / well = the best (the best) (best). To bad / badly = the worst (the worst) (worst). For far = the farthest (from fardest) (the most far or distant). For little = the least (of li .. st) (the least but little, most recently, the younger, less). For few = the fewest (of fiuwest) (on / the most a few / as the / the least, less). Much / many = the most (for most) (the more, the more, the more, the most, most). Good / well = best = the best. Bad / badly = worse = the worst Far = farther or further = the farthest. Little = less = the least.

Few = fewer = the fewest. Much / many = more = the most. Examples: You are the best friend of all. He is the worst playing football. What is the farthest town from here? I play guitar well, but you are the best. I speak a little English, she speaks less, but you speak the least. I want to have the least possible problem today. Who do you love least?. I want to have the fewest problems possible today. Your relative sings many songs, but I sing the most. Who do you love most in this life?. Most people like to live very well.
