Questions & Answers about El argumento es aburridísimo, pero la última escena es buenísima.
How do we build the words aburridísimo and buenísima from their normal adjectives?
To add this absolute superlative suffix (which means extremely or super), you take the base adjectives aburrido (boring) and buena (good). Drop the final vowel, and add the ending that matches the noun's gender and number. So, aburrido drops the -o and takes -ísimo to match the masculine singular argumento, and buena drops the -a and takes -ísima to match the feminine singular escena.
Is using -ísimo exactly the same as saying muy aburrido or muy buena?
Doesn't argumento mean argument? Why is it translated as plot?
Argumento is a classic false friend (a word that looks like English but means something else). In the context of a movie, book, or play, el argumento means the plot or the storyline. If you want to talk about a verbal fight with someone, you would use a word like la discusión or la pelea.
Why does última come before escena instead of after it?
While most descriptive adjectives in Spanish go after the noun, adjectives that tell you the order of things in a series, like primera (first), última (last), or próxima (next), usually go before the noun.
Why do we use es instead of está to say the plot is boring?
