New Game - E S T

Question

The idea is to find an English word that ends in E S T.

Many of these words are superlatives - but not all superlatives end in est.

And then write a short sentence in English and Spanish using that word.

Example:

Mrs Smith is the kindest person I know.

Sra. Smith es la persona más amable que conozco.

Eso es todo, fácil ¿no?

This was the previous challenge

We have no native Spanish speakers to correct our attempts so please help where you can.
