Corso di italiano con Daniela - Pronomi relativi - Part 1

Corso di italiano con Daniela - Superlativo relativo

Difficulty: Adv Beginner

Italy

With the relative superlative, we compare one element with an entire group, as for example, "She is the most beautiful of all." In English we distinguish between "more" and "most," but in Italian, the presence of the article before the noun or before the comparative word is what makes the difference.
