Superlative adjectives in Vietnamese grammar are used to express the highest degree of a quality among three or more entities. As Vietnamese is a subject-verb-object language, the superlative adjective usually comes after the noun it describes. A superlative adjective can be formed by adding the word โnhแบฅtโ in front of an adjective. However, the context may require the use the following word order: Subject + Verb + โnhแบฅtโ + Adjective.
