  • Nor, at the other end of the scale, can we match the Spanish superlative suffix - ísimo , e.g., grandísimo, altísimo, bellísimo (rendered in English as the `biggest,' the `highest,' the `most beautiful,' although for an exact equivalency one would use the other superlative form in Spanish, más grande, más alto, más bello ). Nothing I have ever heard in English can match the breadth of lighthearted insult expressed by a Spanish wit some years ago who used the suffix with reference to the notoriously pampered, well-connected, well-heeled, well-placed brother-in-law ( cu ñado ) of Francisco Franco.
