The relative superlative (il superlativo relative) is a simple grammatical concept in both English and Italian. In English, the relative superlative is expressed by using the most or the least with an adjective or noun or by attaching -est to an adjective.

In Italian, il superlativo relative is formed using the following formula:

definite article (il, la, i, le) + (noun) + più/meno + adjective + di + the comparative term(s)



One thing to note about using this formula is that the noun can move around a bit, or not be used at all. Take a look at the following examples:
