In the previous lesson, we used Daha for comparing two things. Today, we use En for superlatives to indicate the "most" or the "-est" (the best, the fastest, the tallest) within a whole group or category.
💡 Grammar Structure:
$$Category/Range + En + Adjective$$
En: Equivalent to "The most" or the "-est" suffix in English.
It is always placed directly before the adjective.
