Please look at another post for Comparative & Superlative

Superlative - Adjectives

Superlative: Adjectives

Note: con il superlativo se parla solo di una cosa e come questa cosa è il migliore o il peggiore, ect. Non si fa un paragone tra due cose.

1-syllable adjectives + est If the word ends with Consonant + vowel + consonant Then the last consonant is doubled	2-syllable adjectives ending in y: remove y + iest	Other 2-syllable adjectives + most (do not change the adjective)	3 or more syllables: + most + adjective
My sister is the smartest in the family. big: biggest; hot: hottest	Jane is the happiest person I know. Joe is the luckiest person on earth.	Grammar is the most boring subject. My brother is the most cautious person.	My most interesting class is History. I believe that Chinese is the most difficult language.
