COMPARISONS OF EQUALITY

To compare similar things with adjectives & adverbs in Spanish…
Use the following construction: Tan + adjective/adverb + como Just as + adjective/adverb + as
La Señorita Meinecke es tan bonita como Miss Universo. (Je! Je!)
Ms. Meinecke is just as pretty as Miss Universe. (Hee! Hee!)
Think of TAN as “just as” COMO with no accent means “like/as”

The Superlative(El superlativo)
Good, better, BEST!!!
Objetivo: TSWBAT tell who is the most friendly in the class and who is the
least tall
Superlatives
Superlatives express the highest and lowest degree of something The best vs. the least The biggest vs. the smallest The most loved vs. the least hated
In English, we use the special ending -est, the describe things that are “the most _____” (superlatives) when using short adjectives and adverbs
biggest
tallest
finest
prettiest
fastest
slowest
However, we use the phrase “the most _____ of”(or in) and “the least _____of” (or in) for longer adjectives and adverbs:• the most delicate flower of/in the garden• the least expensive car (of all, in the world)• the most fair/fairest of them all• the most carefully of (adverb)
• (John did the assignment the most carefully of all the students.)
Key words for the Superlative: The most/least ___________ of all The
El/la Most/least
Más/menos* (unless one of 4 irregulars) Of
DE All
Todo/toda/todos/todas
In Spanish, the least and the most are expressed with: el/la más ______ de _______
The most _______ of __________ La más bonita de todas/ La chica más bonita de todas
The most beautiful of all
El/la menos _______ de _______ The least ______ of ______ El menos simpático de todos / El chico menos simpático de todos
The least friendly of all.
En español…
Be sure your sentences matches in gender and quantity with what you are comparing. Esa mujer es la más bonita de todas. Juan es el chico menos simpático de todos
If you don’t state what you are comparing at the beginning of the sentence, you make state it after the “el” or “la”
La más bonita de todas Esa mujer es la más bonita de todas.
La chica más bonita de todas El/la menos _______ de _______
The least ______ of ______ José es el menos simpático de todos José es el chico menos simpático de todos
The least friendly of all.

• La plancha es el electrodoméstico más pequeño de todos.
• La lavadora y la secadora son los más caros de todos.
the smallest
the mostexpensive
of
of
Entre los electrodomésticos (appliances). . .
De is also used instead of que with superlative comparisons
Once again, in Spanish, we don’t have the “-est” short cut, but notice how the structure of Spanish parallels that of English. In both languages, we must add a definite article, and than becomes of, just as que becomes de.
Ana is the smallest of all the students.(the smallest in the school)
(la más pequeña de la escuela)
Here, Spanish uses only de, never en !!!
Ana es la más pequeña de todos los estudiantes.

Replacement words
Just as in English, where we use the BEST instead of “the most good”…. In Spanish we use MEJOR (best)
El/la Mejor The best
El/la Peor The worst
El/la Mayor The oldest
El/la Menor The youngest
Just as in English, where we use the BEST instead of “the most good”….In Spanish we also have irregular superlatives…
más bueno (bien)• más malo (mal)
• más viejo• más joven
Mejor (best)

Menor (youngest)
Let’s look at our irregular comparative examples once again, this time adding a superlative.

• Inés es la menor de todas (de las tres).

character, sense of morality, or behavior.
• Su hermano, Tomás, es muy obediente.

person’s character, sense of morality, or behavior.
