When you want to express that something is not just the best, but the very best, you can intensify the superlative using the word allra.
| the very | allra |
Using "allra" with superlatives
To intensify a superlative adjective, place allra directly before it. When describing a specific noun, use the double definite form. The pattern is:
Definite Article (den / det / de) + allra + Superlative Adjective + Definite Noun
| This is the very most important question. | Det här är den allra viktigaste frågan. |
| It was the very most fun memory! | Det var det allra roligaste minnet! |
You can use this to express extreme opinions, whether good or bad:
| This is the very most disgusting wine. | Det här är det allra äckligaste vinet. |
| Who is the very most popular singer in the world? | Vem är den allra populäraste sångaren i världen? |
Plurals and "mest"
The word allra never changes form. It works exactly the same way with plural nouns, using the plural article de:
| We want to see the very cutest animals! | Vi vill se de allra sötaste djuren! |
For longer adjectives that form their superlative with mest (most), simply place allra directly before mest:
| Childhood is the very most significant period. | Barndomen är den allra mest betydelsefulla perioden. |
| It is the very most exciting game! | Det är det allra mest spännande spelet! |
