Hi vantasha, welcome to the forum

We are waiting for your input, just write the forms you have here (everything ends in "ísimo") and we will check them for correction, as Mardie has already pointed out.

Answer 2

There are two kinds of "superlatives" in Spanish. One kind is similar to the English. First all you start with the adjective like "simpático"

The next step is called the "comparative" which is "más simpático"

Then the highest degree (the superlative) is "el más simpático."

As was stated in the link, there are irregulars. "Bueno" "mejor" and "el mejor"

There is another kind of superlative that doesn't exist in English. That's the "ísimo/a one, which is called the "absolute superlative."

Let's look at "contenta." Comparative = "más contenta" Superlative = "la más contenta."

The "Absolute Superlative" is "contentísima."

I forgot to add the comparatives meaning "less + adjective" "menos contenta, y "la menos contenta."

(The above was taken from the College Textbook Panorama, introducción a la lengua española 5th edition p.p.261, 266)

Here is a chart with most of the irregulars.

One additional note:

When talking about the size of "things" like a shoebox it OK to use "más grande/pequeño or menos grande/peueño."

Dani: Maybe you could save this answer as a question and then bump it when the need arises like you do with some of your other great articles. - DilKen, Jun 27, 2017

Sounds like a good idea. Thanks. - Daniela2041, Jun 27, 2017
