EN: superlative
This is the 'extra' level of description. Not just 'maganda' (beautiful), not just 'mas maganda' (more beautiful), but 'PINAKAmaganda' (most beautiful). It's the language of hype, marketing, and your proud tita describing her favorite pamangkin. 'You are the best-est!' is a very superlatibo (and grammatically questionable) statement.
From Spanish 'superlativo'.
Used both as a noun ('ang superlatibo') to refer to the concept or the word form, and as an adjective ('antas na superlatibo') to describe the superlative degree. In Tagalog grammar, this is achieved with the prefix 'pinaka-'.
