Superlatives The most…

Here’s the dealio… What happens if we want to compare a person or thing with a lot of other people or things? ◦In English, we say “Frank is the tallest in his family.” ◦Frank is being compared to at least two other family members. This is called a superlative comparison.

And in Spanish? Take a look at some examples in Spanish. Any guesses as to how this works? ◦Paco es el más alto de la familia. ◦Julia es la más baja de la familia. ◦Mis padres son los más inteligentes de la familia. ◦Mis hermanas son las más bonitas de la familia.

el/la/los/las + noun(optional) + más + adjective + de…(optional) Use the expressions ◦el más____ de… (Paco > el) ◦la más ____de… (Julia > la) ◦los más____de… (padres > los) ◦las más____de… (hermanas > las) The article and adjective agrees with the person/place/object described.

Irregulares The irregulars “mejor, peor, mayor, menor” can also be used in the superlative form. mejor=best peor=worst mayor=oldest menor=youngest

Let’s practice! Un Ford cuesta $15,000. Un Buick cuesta $20,000. Un Lexus cuesta $25,000; es muy caro (expensive). El Lexus es ___ ____ ____ ____ todos los autos. El Lexus es el más caro de todos los autos. (or “El Lexus es el auto más caro de todos.”)

Uno más, por favor. Humberto es inteligente, David es muy inteligente, y Victoria es muy, muy inteligente. Victoria es ___ ___ ___ ____ todos. Victoria es la más inteligente de todos.

Can I have another? Teresa y Soraya son unas amigas muy simpáticas. Ellas son ___ ___ ___ ___ todas mis amigas. Ellas son las más simpáticas de todas mis amigas.

One for the road! Pedro es buen alumno. Pablo es muy bueno. Eduardo es muy, muy buen alumno. Eduardo es ___ ___ ___ los tres. Eduardo es el mejor de los tres.
