From Lesson 249:Comparatives of equality (igual de... que)·Spanish (Latin America)

Questions & Answers about Esa niña extrovertida tiene una sonrisa lindísima y es muy generosa.

This lesson is about comparatives. How would I change this sentence to say she is "as generous as" her sister?
You would use the structure igual de + adjective + que. To say "is as generous as her sister," you would say es igual de generosa que su hermana. Remember that the adjective generosa still needs to match the girl in gender and number.
What does the -ísima ending on lindísima do?
Adding -ísimo or -ísima to an adjective is a common way to say "very," "extremely," or "super." Linda means "cute" or "pretty," so dropping the final vowel and adding -ísima makes it lindísima, meaning "extremely cute."
Why do we use es for "is very generous" instead of está?
You use the verb ser (conjugated here as es) to describe inherent characteristics or personality traits. Because being generous is a core part of the girl's personality rather than a temporary state or mood, ser is the correct verb.
Why does the word extrovertida come after niña?
In Spanish, adjectives that classify or describe a distinguishing trait (like being outgoing) almost always come right after the noun they describe. So it must be niña extrovertida rather than the English word order of "outgoing girl."
