1 00:00:00,750 --> 00:00:04,089 So how to form the superlative? Let's see 2 00:00:04,889 --> 00:00:12,410 We have the same as in Spanish, in Spanish it is el más fuerte, el más grande 3 00:00:12,509 --> 00:00:18,710 So in English is the same, we need el, so how do we say that? We use de 4 00:00:19,510 --> 00:00:24,010 Okay, you know this, so in the comparatives we always use dan 5 00:00:24,510 --> 00:00:29,050 bigger than and the superlatives we always have to use de 6 00:00:29,050 --> 00:00:34,810 so it happens the same as in the comparatives, in the comparatives remember 7 00:00:34,810 --> 00:00:42,909 we have ER when we have only one syllable so bigger than, taller than, so 8 00:00:42,909 --> 00:00:48,789 here in the superlative it happens the same but instead of adding ER we have to 9 00:00:48,789 --> 00:00:57,929 add EST so we say the tallest, the happiest, so the cases are the same when 10 00:00:57,929 --> 00:01:03,450 the word is only one syllable like tall so we say the tallest but when it is two 11 00:01:03,450 --> 00:01:10,230 syllables and it ends by Y happy two syllables but the finish letter is a Y 12 00:01:10,230 --> 00:01:16,829 so we have to change the Y and we add EST so that is why the happiest is the same 13 00:01:16,829 --> 00:01:23,109 as in the comparatives and what happens with the long words expensive more than 14 00:01:23,109 --> 00:01:27,569 one syllable and more than two so instead of writing EST we don't say the 15 00:01:27,569 --> 00:01:36,969 expensiest, no, we say the most expensive, and with adjectives of two syllables which 16 00:01:36,969 --> 00:01:43,530 don't finish by Y, like for example clever, so two syllables clever, but it doesn't 17 00:01:43,530 --> 00:01:52,129 finish with Y, so in this case we have to say the most clever, so EST with one syllable 18 00:01:52,129 --> 00:02:02,849 words and most with long adjectives in this case and with words with two syllables ending 19 00:02:02,849 --> 00:02:11,569 by Y we use EST and with words of two syllables not ending by Y we use most, so let's see 20 00:02:11,569 --> 00:02:18,889 some examples, for example we can say this perfume is the most expensive because expensive 21 00:02:18,889 --> 00:02:27,409 is a long word in the shop or he is the happiest person I've met in my life so 22 00:02:27,409 --> 00:02:31,650 remember we are only talking about one thing in this case one person and one 23 00:02:31,650 --> 00:02:37,610 perfume we are not comparing two different things so as in the 24 00:02:37,610 --> 00:02:44,210 comparatives we can say el más grande but we can say also el menos so if we say 25 00:02:44,210 --> 00:02:50,689 el menos is the same, in the comparatives we have to say less, so we say less big 26 00:02:50,689 --> 00:02:59,090 than, less expensive than, in the superlatives is the least, it changes a 27 00:02:59,090 --> 00:03:05,689 little bit, in comparatives it was less but in the superlatives it's least, so we 28 00:03:05,689 --> 00:03:12,110 have we can say the least funny, this joke is the least funny I have ever 29 00:03:12,110 --> 00:03:21,169 hurt or he is the least tall boy in the class or this perfume is the least 30 00:03:21,169 --> 00:03:27,110 expensive in all the shops so it's always the same it doesn't matter if the 31 00:03:27,110 --> 00:03:33,469 word is short or it's long in this case okay so we have when something is the 32 00:03:33,469 --> 00:03:43,629 most and when something is the least of something, clear? And then, as it happened with the comparatives 33 00:03:43,629 --> 00:03:49,949 we also have some exceptions, which are the same, and to explain this I'm going to use 34 00:03:49,949 --> 00:03:58,969 Spanish, so let's think, the word good, bueno, we don't say algo es el más bueno, no, we 35 00:03:58,969 --> 00:04:14,750 We have a word to say that, tenemos una palabra para decir eso, que es el mejor, pues en inglés pasa lo mismo, nosotros no decimos the most good, no, o the goodest, no, ellos dicen the best, which means el mejor, so it's the same as in Spanish. 36 00:04:14,750 --> 00:04:17,709 The word bad, la palabra malo 37 00:04:17,709 --> 00:04:19,910 Nosotros no decimos el más malo 38 00:04:19,910 --> 00:04:22,829 Nosotros decimos el peor 39 00:04:22,829 --> 00:04:24,569 Pues en inglés es lo mismo 40 00:04:24,569 --> 00:04:26,670 Ellos no dicen the baddest 41 00:04:26,670 --> 00:04:28,170 Or the most bad 42 00:04:28,170 --> 00:04:30,110 Ellos dicen the worst 43 00:04:30,110 --> 00:04:31,050 Lo cambian 44 00:04:31,050 --> 00:04:32,149 ¿Vale? 45 00:04:32,269 --> 00:04:33,769 Y con la palabra far 46 00:04:33,769 --> 00:04:35,589 Esta es distinto en español 47 00:04:35,589 --> 00:04:37,269 Con la palabra far 48 00:04:37,269 --> 00:04:38,829 Pasa lo mismo 49 00:04:38,829 --> 00:04:42,829 They don't say the farthest 50 00:04:42,829 --> 00:04:49,490 They say the farthest, they change the word totally, so this is the most difficult one 51 00:04:49,490 --> 00:04:52,629 But this one and this one we use the same in Spanish, ok? 52 00:04:52,750 --> 00:05:05,509 So in the comparative form it was this team, for example, Atleti de Bilbao is better than Atletico de Madrid, for example 53 00:05:05,509 --> 00:05:13,850 it's just an example, or we can say that this movie is worse than that other movie 54 00:05:13,850 --> 00:05:22,550 that was the comparative, but in the superlative we can say that Atletico de Madrid is the best team in the world 55 00:05:22,550 --> 00:05:27,750 and we can say that this movie is the worst movie in the world, for example 56 00:05:27,750 --> 00:05:34,290 or this place is the farthest in this city from my house, so we have all those things
