Transcripción de la presentación:

The Superlative (El superlativo) (The most . . . , the least . . . )

El, la, los, las más/menos de: the superlative De is also used instead of que with superlative comparisons Entre los electrodomésticos . . . La plancha es el más pequeño de todos. the smallest of La lavadora y la secadora son los más caros de todos. the most expensive of

Again, in English, we use a special ending, est, for short adjectives and adverbs used as superlatives: biggest finest fastest tallest prettiest slowest However, we use the most . . . of (or in) and the least . . . of (or in) for longer adjectives and adverbs: the most delicate of the least expensive (of all, in the world) the most complicated of the most carefully of (John did the assignment the most carefully of all the students.)

Here, Spanish uses only de, never en !!! Once again, in Spanish, we have no such short cut, but notice how the structure of Spanish parallels that of English. In both languages, we must add a definite article, and than becomes of, just as que becomes de. Ana is the smallest of all the students. (the smallest in the school) Ana es la más pequeña de todos los estudiantes. (la más pequeña de la escuela) Ana Berta Susana Here, Spanish uses only de, never en !!!

The irregular comparative forms also apply to the superlatives más bueno (bien) mejor más malo (mal) peor más viejo mayor más joven menor Let’s look at our irregular comparative examples once again, this time adding a superlative.

bueno → mejor más bueno que Un Amana es un buen refrigerador. Un GE es muy bueno. más bueno que Un GE es mejor que un Amana. Un Frigidaire es el mejor de todos (de los tres).

malo → peor más malo que Un huracán es malo. Un tornado es muy malo. Un tornado es peor que un huracán. Un terremoto es el peor de todos (de los tres).

viejo → mayor más viejo que Pablo es viejo. Pedro es muy viejo. Pedro es mayor que Pablo. Rodolfo es el mayor de todos (de los tres).

joven → menor más joven que Beatriz es muy joven. Anita no es tan joven como parece. más joven que Beatriz es menor que Anita. Inés es la menor de todas (de las tres).

El más bueno and el más malo Just as with comparatives, más bueno and más malo are also used in the superlative instead of mejor and peor when referring to a person’s character, sense of morality, or behavior. Raúl es malo; no obedece a sus padres. Su hermano, Tomás, es muy obediente. Tomás es más bueno que Raúl. Su hermanito, Paco, es un ángel. Paco es el más bueno de todos.

El más bueno and el más malo Just as with comparatives, más bueno and más malo are also used in the superlative instead of mejor and peor when referring to a person’s character, sense of morality, or behavior. Mario es ladrón (thief); es un hombre malo. Julio es asesino (murderer); es un hombre muy malo. Julio es más malo que Mario. Tomás es asesino en serie (serial killer); es un hombre muy muy malo. Tomás es el más malo de todos.
