Superlative in Arabic

To form Arabic superlative, once more you just need to make some modifications to the superiority form you learned before. Add “al” and omit “men” to the superiority form, because “men” is used to compare two things, which is not the case in superlative.

Fatima is younger than Sofia  Fatima asghar men Sofia 

فاطمة أصغر من صوفيا  , 

Fatima is the youngest = Fatima hia al asghar فاطمة هي الاصغر

His house is the most beautiful  baituhu howa al akthar jamaalan.

Note that since the superiority adjective starts always with an “a”, placing “al” before it to form superlative will give you most of the time the form “al a” for the superlative before the adjective used. 

Examples: the youngest: al asghar, the biggest: al akbar, the tallest: al atwal, the best: al ahsan, the dummest: al aghbaa.
