Questions & Answers about El otro gemelo es hermosísimo, pero es tímido.
What does the ending -ísimo do in hermosísimo?
Does hermosísimo change if we are talking about a female twin?
Yes! Just like regular adjectives, words ending in -ísimo must agree in gender and number with the noun they describe. If we were talking about a female twin (la otra gemela), she would be hermosísima.
I sometimes want to say un otro for "another". Why is it just el otro here?
Why do we use es (from the verb ser) for tímido? Isn't being shy a temporary feeling?
