Rules

Irregular adjectives good / the best (the best)

For short adjectives ending in "y" = the + adj.corto + change the "y" to i + est

If a short adjective ends in a consonant and a vowel goes before, then first it gets "the", then the consonant is doubled and then "est" is added

For long adjectives, it is set to "the most" (the most) or "the least" (the least) before the adjective.

For short adjectives = the + adj.corto + "est"
