Examples:

This is the most famous hotel in the city.

This is the best hotel in the city.

In Portuguese, if you want to say that something

is very or extremely expensive, beautiful, etc. you

can express it in two different ways:

a) By adding the suffixes -ssimo, -rrimo or -imo

to the adjective. In English we use very.

Ex: Este exerccio faclimo. / This exercise isvery easy.
