The superlative ( definition) is formed by simply adding leg- to the start of the comparative ( definition). It's as easy as that.

See the comparative page for important notes about usage.

Some simple examples:

• a legmagasabb vagyok. I am the tallest.
• te a leglassúbb vagy. You are the slowest.
• Ági a legszebb. Ági is the most beautiful.
• a három kutya közül a legfiatalabb a legbutább. Of the three dogs, the youngest is the stupidest.

To take a superlative to the extreme, such as 'the very best', use the following affix instead of leg-.  Use: leges-

• a legesjobb the very best

Here is a phrase that appears to be a superlative, but in English is not:

legalább at least
