To say that something is the tallest, newest, or fastest, add the suffix -est to the basic adjective. For example, høj (tall) becomes højest (tallest), and ny (new) becomes nyest (newest).
| Is this building tallest? | Er denne bygning højest? |
| I think that the tower is tallest. | Jeg synes at tårnet er højest. |
| We believe that this tower is newest. | Vi tror at dette tårn er nyest. |
When the superlative comes after the verb (as a predicative adjective in a general statement), it keeps this simple -est ending regardless of the noun's gender or whether it is singular or plural.
| Are these cars fastest? | Er disse biler hurtigst? |
| Which bridge is strongest? | Hvilken bro er stærkest? |
| Which month is warmest? | Hvilken måned er varmest? |
You will often see these superlative adjectives followed by a prepositional phrase to specify the context (like "in the class" or "in July").
| The boy is smartest in the class. | Drengen er klogest i klassen. |
| The weather is often warmest in July. | Vejret er ofte varmest i juli. |
| The water in the river is coldest. | Vandet i floden er koldest. |
| The machine is fastest and strongest. | Maskinen er hurtigst og stærkest. |
