They say <em>buonissimo<\/em>. When a friend looks great, they say <em>bellissimo<\/em>. The italian bellissimo issimo ending is the Italian way to mean &#8220;very&#8221;, &#8220;extremely&#8221;, &#8220;really&#8221;. The italian bellissimo issimo form attaches to almost any adjective after dropping its last vowel: <em>bello<\/em> becomes <em>bellissimo<\/em>, <em>buono<\/em> becomes <em>buonissimo<\/em>, <em>grande<\/em> becomes <em>grandissimo<\/em>, <em>piccolo<\/em> becomes <em>piccolissimo<\/em>. Four common adjectives also have a second, irregular italian bellissimo issimo form: <em>ottimo<\/em>, <em>pessimo<\/em>, <em>massimo<\/em>, <em>minimo<\/em>. A handful of prefixes do a similar job in informal speech alongside the italian bellissimo issimo suffix: <em>stra-<\/em>, <em>super-<\/em>, <em>arci-<\/em>. This A1 guide shows you how to build, agree, and use the italian bellissimo issimo suffix in everyday sentences, with a Bologna dialogue around mortadella and tortellini.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once you have the italian bellissimo issimo form in your ear, a whole layer of native Italian opens up. You stop sounding flat. You start sounding like someone who actually enjoys speaking the language.<\/p>\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\" \/>\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-toc-iss\"><div class=\"gb-inside-container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Cosa impareremo oggi<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udc46\ud83c\udffb Jump to section<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\" \/>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"#one-liner\">The one-liner rule for the italian bellissimo issimo suffix<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#how-to-build\">How to build -issimo from any adjective<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#agreement\">Agreement: bellissimo, bellissima, bellissimi, bellissime<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#spelling\">Spelling tricks: ricchissimo, larghissimo, simpaticissimo<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#irregular\">The four irregular pairs: ottimo, pessimo, massimo, minimo<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#prefixes\">Informal cousins: stra-, super-, arci-<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#vs-molto\">Bellissimo vs molto bello: are they the same?<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#traps\">Five traps for English speakers<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#cheat-sheet\">Cheat sheet<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#dialogue\">Dialogue: Veronica and Roberto in via Indipendenza<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#mini-challenge\">Mini-challenge<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#faq\">Frequently asked questions<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#related\">Related guides<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"#quiz\">Quiz<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"one-liner\">The one-liner rule for the italian bellissimo issimo suffix<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The italian bellissimo issimo rule is short: take any adjective, drop the last vowel, and add <em>-issimo<\/em>. That gives you &#8220;very + adjective&#8221; in one word. <em>Bello<\/em> ends in <em>-o<\/em>, so drop the <em>-o<\/em> and add <em>-issimo<\/em>: <em>bell-<\/em> + <em>-issimo<\/em> = <em>bellissimo<\/em>. The italian bellissimo issimo word agrees in gender and number with the noun, just like any other adjective: <em>bellissimo, bellissima, bellissimi, bellissime<\/em>. The italian bellissimo issimo form does not mean &#8220;the most&#8221;; it means &#8220;very&#8221;, &#8220;extremely&#8221;, &#8220;really&#8221;. Italian has a separate construction for &#8220;the most&#8221;, and we keep that for the B1 follow-up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The technical name for this form is the <em>intensified<\/em>, which simply means a high degree of a quality with no comparison to anything else. <em>Un caff\u00e8 buonissimo<\/em> just means &#8220;a really good coffee&#8221;, not &#8220;the best coffee in the world&#8221;. This A1 guide stays focused on building the form and using it correctly in everyday speech.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-to-build\">How to build -issimo from any adjective<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The italian bellissimo issimo rule fits on a single line: drop the final vowel of the adjective and add <em>-issimo<\/em>. Both <em>-o<\/em> adjectives and <em>-e<\/em> adjectives feed into the italian bellissimo issimo pattern the same way.<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>bello \u2192 bellissimo. <em>Bologna \u00e8 bellissima d&#8217;autunno.<\/em><br><em>Bologna is really beautiful in autumn.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>buono \u2192 buonissimo. <em>La mortadella di questo laboratorio \u00e8 buonissima.<\/em><br><em>The mortadella from this workshop is really good.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>alto \u2192 altissimo. <em>Roberto \u00e8 altissimo, due metri.<\/em><br><em>Roberto is extremely tall, two meters.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>grande \u2192 grandissimo. <em>Veronica ha un grandissimo problema oggi.<\/em><br><em>Veronica has a huge problem today.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>piccolo \u2192 piccolissimo. <em>Il tortellino classico \u00e8 piccolissimo.<\/em><br><em>The classic tortellino is very small.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>intelligente \u2192 intelligentissimo. <em>Mio nipote \u00e8 intelligentissimo.<\/em><br><em>My nephew is extremely intelligent.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>elegante \u2192 elegantissimo. <em>Veronica \u00e8 elegantissima oggi.<\/em><br><em>Veronica is extremely elegant today.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>veloce \u2192 velocissimo. <em>Il treno per Firenze \u00e8 velocissimo.<\/em><br><em>The train to Florence is very fast.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Notice the pattern across <em>-o<\/em> and <em>-e<\/em> adjectives: in both cases you drop the final vowel and add <em>-issimo<\/em>. The result always ends in <em>-o<\/em> in the masculine singular, no matter what the original adjective looked like. So <em>elegante<\/em> (which never changes for gender) gives <em>elegantissimo<\/em> for masculine and <em>elegantissima<\/em> for feminine. Once you build the <em>-issimo<\/em> word, it behaves like any normal four-form adjective in <em>-o<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-task-iss-1\"><div class=\"gb-inside-container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83c\udfaf <strong>Mini-task #1:<\/strong> Build the masculine singular <em>-issimo<\/em> form for each adjective.<\/p>\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>caro<\/li>\n<li>stanco<\/li>\n<li>lungo<\/li>\n<li>gentile<\/li>\n<li>brutto<\/li>\n<li>facile<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<details><summary><strong>\ud83d\udc49 Show answers<\/strong><\/summary>\n<p>1. <strong>carissimo<\/strong> (very expensive \/ very dear)<\/p>\n<p>2. <strong>stanchissimo<\/strong> (note the <em>h<\/em>: see spelling section)<\/p>\n<p>3. <strong>lunghissimo<\/strong> (note the <em>h<\/em>)<\/p>\n<p>4. <strong>gentilissimo<\/strong> (very kind)<\/p>\n<p>5. <strong>bruttissimo<\/strong> (really ugly)<\/p>\n<p>6. <strong>facilissimo<\/strong> (very easy)<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"agreement\">Agreement: bellissimo, bellissima, bellissimi, bellissime<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once you have the italian bellissimo issimo stem, it agrees in gender and number with the noun, like any standard four-form Italian adjective. Four endings cover every case of the italian bellissimo issimo agreement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table>\n<thead><tr><th>Gender \/ Number<\/th><th>Ending<\/th><th>Example<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr><td>masculine singular<\/td><td>-issimo<\/td><td>un caff\u00e8 buonissimo<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>feminine singular<\/td><td>-issima<\/td><td>una sfoglia buonissima<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>masculine plural<\/td><td>-issimi<\/td><td>dei tortellini buonissimi<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>feminine plural<\/td><td>-issime<\/td><td>delle paste buonissime<\/td><\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Veronica \u00e8 simpaticissima.<br><em>Veronica is really nice.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Roberto e Veronica sono simpaticissimi.<br><em>Roberto and Veronica are really nice.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>La sfoglia oggi \u00e8 sottilissima.<br><em>The dough sheet today is extremely thin.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Le sfogline di questo pastificio sono bravissime.<br><em>The tortellini makers at this workshop are extremely skilled.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>I clienti del laboratorio sono affezionatissimi.<br><em>The workshop&#8217;s customers are deeply loyal.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One small note. The <em>-issimo<\/em> word does not change because of the noun&#8217;s article. It changes only because of gender and number. Whether you say <em>la sfoglia<\/em>, <em>una sfoglia<\/em>, or <em>questa sfoglia<\/em>, the adjective stays <em>buonissima<\/em>. Italian keeps adjective agreement clean and consistent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"spelling\">Spelling tricks: ricchissimo, larghissimo, simpaticissimo<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One detail of the italian bellissimo issimo spelling catches every learner: when you add <em>-issimo<\/em> to an adjective ending in <em>-co<\/em>, <em>-go<\/em>, <em>-ca<\/em>, or <em>-ga<\/em>, you need to preserve the hard sound of the original word. Italian does this with an <em>h<\/em> before the new ending, exactly the same trick used in the plural.<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>ricco \u2192 ricchissimo. <em>Mio zio \u00e8 ricchissimo.<\/em><br><em>My uncle is extremely rich.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>stanco \u2192 stanchissimo. <em>Sono stanchissima dopo il turno.<\/em><br><em>I&#8217;m extremely tired after the shift.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>largo \u2192 larghissimo. <em>Via Indipendenza \u00e8 larghissima.<\/em><br><em>Via Indipendenza is very wide.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>lungo \u2192 lunghissimo. <em>Il giorno \u00e8 lunghissimo a giugno.<\/em><br><em>The day is extremely long in June.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>bianco \u2192 bianchissimo. <em>Il tovagliolo \u00e8 bianchissimo.<\/em><br><em>The napkin is pure white.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One exception lives in this corner: when the masculine plural of the adjective ends in <em>-ci<\/em> or <em>-gi<\/em> (without the <em>h<\/em>), the <em>-issimo<\/em> form has no <em>h<\/em> either. The classic example is <em>simpatico<\/em>, whose plural is <em>simpatici<\/em>, so the intensified is <em>simpaticissimo<\/em>, not <em>simpatichissimo<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>simpatico \u2192 simpaticissimo. <em>Il fornaio sotto casa \u00e8 simpaticissimo.<\/em><br><em>The baker downstairs is extremely friendly.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>antipatico \u2192 antipaticissimo. <em>Quel cliente \u00e8 antipaticissimo.<\/em><br><em>That customer is really unpleasant.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>magnifico \u2192 magnifico stays as is in most everyday use.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The rule of thumb: look at the masculine plural first. <em>Ricchi<\/em> with <em>h<\/em> gives <em>ricchissimo<\/em>. <em>Simpatici<\/em> without <em>h<\/em> gives <em>simpaticissimo<\/em>. Once you make this connection, you stop guessing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"irregular\">The four irregular pairs: ottimo, pessimo, massimo, minimo<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Four very common adjectives have two italian bellissimo issimo suffix forms: the regular <em>-issimo<\/em> form and a special form inherited from Latin. Both are correct, but they cover slightly different meanings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table>\n<thead><tr><th>Adjective<\/th><th>Regular intensified<\/th><th>Latin intensified<\/th><th>Typical use of the Latin form<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr><td>buono (good)<\/td><td>buonissimo<\/td><td>ottimo<\/td><td>quality, a more detached judgement<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>cattivo (bad)<\/td><td>cattivissimo<\/td><td>pessimo<\/td><td>poor quality, unacceptable<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>grande (big)<\/td><td>grandissimo<\/td><td>massimo<\/td><td>maximum, top level<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>piccolo (small)<\/td><td>piccolissimo<\/td><td>minimo<\/td><td>minimum, smallest amount<\/td><\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The two forms in each pair are not exact synonyms. <em>Buonissimo<\/em> is personal and warm; you use it for food you love, for a friend who is kind, for a moment that felt great. <em>Ottimo<\/em> sits one step further away; you use it for a more detached judgement of quality, the kind of word a sommelier or a doctor might pick.<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Questi tortellini sono buonissimi! <em>(personal, enthusiastic)<\/em><br><em>These tortellini are really delicious!<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Questi tortellini sono ottimi. <em>(detached, professional)<\/em><br><em>These tortellini are excellent.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Roberto \u00e8 un cuoco buonissimo. <em>(warm, friendly)<\/em><br><em>Roberto is a really nice cook.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Roberto \u00e8 un cuoco ottimo. <em>(quality assessment)<\/em><br><em>Roberto is a first-rate cook.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The same logic splits <em>cattivissimo<\/em> and <em>pessimo<\/em>. <em>Cattivissimo<\/em> describes an unpleasant person or experience; <em>pessimo<\/em> describes poor quality or a result you consider unacceptable.<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Quel cliente era cattivissimo con la commessa. <em>(mean, hostile)<\/em><br><em>That customer was really nasty to the shop assistant.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Il servizio in quel ristorante era pessimo. <em>(low quality)<\/em><br><em>The service in that restaurant was terrible.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Veronica ha un umore pessimo stamattina. <em>(very bad mood)<\/em><br><em>Veronica is in a terrible mood this morning.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For <em>massimo<\/em> and <em>minimo<\/em>, the Latin forms tend to mean &#8220;maximum&#8221; and &#8220;minimum&#8221; as abstract limits, while <em>grandissimo<\/em> and <em>piccolissimo<\/em> describe the basic sense of size with feeling. Native speakers reach for the regular form when the meaning is concrete, and for the Latin form when the meaning is a threshold.<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Veronica ha un grandissimo appetito stasera. <em>(huge, enthusiastic)<\/em><br><em>Veronica has a huge appetite tonight.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Il volume massimo della radio \u00e8 troppo alto. <em>(top limit)<\/em><br><em>The maximum volume of the radio is too high.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Il tortellino \u00e8 piccolissimo, lo mangi in un boccone. <em>(tiny, vivid)<\/em><br><em>The tortellino is tiny, you eat it in one bite.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Non ho la minima idea. <em>(not the smallest)<\/em><br><em>I have no idea at all.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You will not be wrong if you pick the regular <em>-issimo<\/em> form in casual speech. Italians use <em>buonissimo<\/em> and <em>grandissimo<\/em> constantly. The Latin pairs are good to recognise and useful in writing or formal contexts.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-task-iss-2\"><div class=\"gb-inside-container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83c\udfaf <strong>Mini-task #2:<\/strong> Choose between the regular <em>-issimo<\/em> form and the Latin form.<\/p>\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>La mortadella di Roberto \u00e8 ___ (buonissima \/ ottima)!

None of these replaces the italian bellissimo issimo form, but you will hear them everywhere on the street, on social media, in advertising. Treccani notes that all three work as informal intensifiers added to the front of an adjective.<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>stra- (very common, neutral to informal). <em>La mortadella di Roberto \u00e8 strabuona!<\/em><br><em>Roberto&#8217;s mortadella is super good!<\/em><\/li>\n<li>super- (informal, often jocular). <em>Roberto \u00e8 superveloce in cucina.<\/em><br><em>Roberto is super fast in the kitchen.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>arci- (informal, slightly jocular or old-school). <em>Quel professore \u00e8 arcinoto a Bologna.<\/em><br><em>That professor is extremely well-known in Bologna.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These prefixes are bolted on without dropping any letters: <em>stra<\/em> + <em>buono<\/em> = <em>strabuono<\/em>. They cannot stack: never combine them with <em>-issimo<\/em> in formal writing. You will hear <em>strabellissimo<\/em> on social media, and Treccani notes the form is widespread, but it is considered overkill and slightly silly. For a clean A1 sentence, pick one tool: either <em>-issimo<\/em>, or one prefix, never both.<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>La sfoglia \u00e8 sottilissima. <em>(clean -issimo)<\/em><br><em>The dough sheet is extremely thin.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>La sfoglia \u00e8 strasottile. <em>(clean prefix, informal)<\/em><br><em>The dough sheet is super thin.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>La sfoglia \u00e8 strasottilissima. <em>(overkill, informal social media style)<\/em><br><em>The dough sheet is super-duper thin.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Use the prefix forms with friends, in texts, or when you want a warm informal tone. Use <em>-issimo<\/em> when you want a form that works in any register, from a postcard to a job interview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"vs-molto\">Bellissimo vs molto bello: are they the same?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Almost. Both <em>molto bello<\/em> and the italian bellissimo issimo form mean &#8220;very beautiful&#8221;. <em>Molto + adjective<\/em> is the two-word form; <em>bellissimo<\/em> is the one-word italian bellissimo issimo form with the suffix doing the work. Italians use them interchangeably in most situations, but the two forms carry a slight difference in feel.<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Bologna \u00e8 molto bella d&#8217;autunno. <em>(neutral, descriptive)<\/em><br><em>Bologna is very beautiful in autumn.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Bologna \u00e8 bellissima d&#8217;autunno. <em>(emotional, enthusiastic)<\/em><br><em>Bologna is gorgeous in autumn.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Il caff\u00e8 qui \u00e8 molto buono. <em>(neutral statement)<\/em><br><em>The coffee here is very good.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Il caff\u00e8 qui \u00e8 buonissimo. <em>(enthusiastic, personal)<\/em><br><em>The coffee here is really delicious.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <em>-issimo<\/em> form sounds warmer and more spoken; <em>molto + adjective<\/em> sounds slightly more measured. In speech, Italians lean toward <em>-issimo<\/em> when they are excited and toward <em>molto + adjective<\/em> when they are giving a calm assessment. Both forms are correct; the <em>-issimo<\/em> form is more native-sounding in everyday conversation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"traps\">Five traps for English speakers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Five mistakes catch English speakers when they first build the italian bellissimo issimo form. Each italian bellissimo issimo trap below has a quick fix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Trap 1: Forgetting agreement<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The italian bellissimo issimo word agrees with the noun, like every Italian adjective. Wrong: <em>una sfoglia buonissimo<\/em>. Right: <em>una sfoglia buonissima<\/em>. The masculine form is the base; you change the ending to <em>-a, -i, -e<\/em> to match. English does not have gender agreement, so this slip happens often when you first start using the italian bellissimo issimo form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Trap 2: Adding pi\u00f9 or il pi\u00f9 to an -issimo word<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Never write <em>il pi\u00f9 bellissimo<\/em> or <em>pi\u00f9 bellissimo<\/em>. The italian bellissimo issimo form is an intensified, not a relative superlative. It already means &#8220;very&#8221;, so you cannot add &#8220;more&#8221; or &#8220;the most&#8221; on top. For &#8220;the most beautiful&#8221;, Italian uses a different structure with <em>il pi\u00f9<\/em> + adjective alone: <em>il pi\u00f9 bello<\/em>. This is covered in the B1 guide to comparatives and superlatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Trap 3: Forgetting the h in ricchissimo, lunghissimo<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Adjectives ending in <em>-co<\/em> and <em>-go<\/em> need an <em>h<\/em> before <em>-issimo<\/em> to keep the hard sound: <em>ricco \u2192 ricchissimo<\/em>, <em>largo \u2192 larghissimo<\/em>, <em>stanco \u2192 stanchissimo<\/em>. Without the <em>h<\/em>, you would change the pronunciation entirely: <em>ricissimo<\/em> would sound like <em>ri-chi-ssimo<\/em>, which is wrong. Trust the spelling: if the masculine plural has <em>h<\/em> (<em>ricchi<\/em>), keep the <em>h<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Trap 4: Putting -issimo on bello when it sits before the noun<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The adjective <em>bello<\/em> has a short form when it goes before the noun (<em>un bel ragazzo<\/em>, <em>un bel film<\/em>). The <em>-issimo<\/em> form does not do that: it always goes after the noun, and it uses the full stem. So you say <em>un ragazzo bellissimo<\/em>, not <em>un bellissimo ragazzo<\/em> in most cases. The form is full-length and lives after the noun, like most descriptive adjectives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Trap 5: Building -issimo from a past participle that looks like an adjective<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Past participles in <em>-ato, -uto, -ito<\/em> often work like adjectives (<em>stancato, perduto, finito<\/em>), but most do not accept the italian bellissimo issimo suffix directly. A few that have become real adjectives do: <em>educatissimo<\/em>, <em>affezionatissimo<\/em>, <em>preparatissimo<\/em>. The general rule for A1: stick to plain descriptive adjectives until you build a feel for which past participles work with the italian bellissimo issimo form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"cheat-sheet\">Cheat sheet<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One table, the whole italian bellissimo issimo system at a glance.

The institutional <a href=\"https:\/\/www.treccani.it\/vocabolario\/issimo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Treccani entry on -issimo<\/a> covers the historical background of the italian bellissimo issimo suffix.<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"rank-math-faq\" class=\"rank-math-block\">\n<div class=\"rank-math-list \">\n<div id=\"faq-iss-q1\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">What is the difference between buonissimo and ottimo?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Buonissimo is the regular -issimo form of buono, and it carries personal warmth: food you love, a friend who is kind, a moment that felt great. Ottimo is the Latin intensified of buono, and it sits one step further away: a detached judgement of quality, the kind of word you might read in a review or hear from a professional. Questi tortellini sono buonissimi means I love them; Questi tortellini sono ottimi means they are first-rate. Both are correct, and Italians switch between them depending on whether they want to sound warm or measured.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-iss-q2\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">Can I add -issimo to any adjective?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>To most adjectives, yes. The rule is to drop the final vowel and add -issimo: bello becomes bellissimo, intelligente becomes intelligentissimo, veloce becomes velocissimo. A few adjectives resist the form, like color adjectives derived from nouns (rosa, viola, arancione), and most past participles do not accept -issimo unless they have become real adjectives (educatissimo, affezionatissimo). For everyday A1 use, stick to plain descriptive adjectives like bello, buono, alto, grande, simpatico, and you will be safe.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-iss-q3\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">Why do I write ricchissimo and larghissimo with an h?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>The h preserves the hard sound of the original adjective. Ricco is pronounced with a hard k sound, so when you add -issimo you need to keep that sound: ricchissimo. Without the h, the c before i would soften to a ch sound (as in ciao), and the word would be unpronounceable. The same applies to largo, lungo, stanco, bianco: all of them keep the h before -issimo. Quick rule: if the masculine plural has h (ricchi, larghi, lunghi), the -issimo form has h too.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-iss-q4\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">Are stra-, super-, and arci- the same as -issimo?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>They are close cousins, but they belong to a more informal register. Stra-, super-, and arci- are prefixes you add to the front of an adjective without dropping any letters: strabuono, supercaro, arcinoto. They mean roughly the same as -issimo, but they sound casual, often jocular, and they are common in spoken Italian, social media, and advertising. The -issimo form works in any register, from a postcard to a job interview; the prefixes are best kept for casual contexts. Never combine them: strabellissimo is overkill and sounds silly in writing.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-iss-q5\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">Can I stack the italian bellissimo issimo form with the most?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>No. The italian bellissimo issimo form is what Italian grammar tradition calls an intensified, not a superlative. It means very or extremely, but not the most. So forms that combine il piu&#8217; (with accent) and bellissimo are grammatically wrong. For the most beautiful, Italian uses a separate structure with the definite article plus piu&#8217; plus the plain adjective: il piu&#8217; bello, la piu&#8217; bella, il piu&#8217; bello del mondo. The two systems do not stack. Use the italian bellissimo issimo suffix for very, and the il piu&#8217; + adjective construction for the most. The comparatives and superlatives guide at B1 covers this second system in detail.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-iss-q6\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">Why do Italians use bellissimo so much?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Because Italian rewards expressive speech, and the -issimo form is the easiest way to add warmth and emphasis to almost any adjective. Where English might say great, lovely, or really nice, Italians often say bellissimo, buonissimo, or simpaticissimo. The form is short, it agrees neatly with the noun, and it carries genuine feeling. Once you have it in your ear, you will hear it constantly: in cafes, in shops, on the phone, on Italian TV. Adopting -issimo in your own speech is the fastest way to sound less textbook and more like someone who actually enjoys the language.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"related\">Related guides<\/h2>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/dante-learning.com\/eng\/italian-comparatives-and-superlatives\/\">Italian Comparatives and Superlatives: Pi\u00f9, Meno, -issimo (B1)<\/a>: the full B1 system covering pi\u00f9, meno, il pi\u00f9, plus the irregular pairs.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/dante-learning.com\/eng\/un-buon-amico-o-un-amico-buono-the-position-of-the-adjective-in-italian\/\">Italian Adjective Position: Buon Amico or Amico Buono<\/a>: where adjectives sit relative to the noun, including bello and buono in their short forms.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/dante-learning.com\/eng\/italian-adjectives-to-nouns-learn-basic-prefixes-quiz\/\">Italian Adjectives into Nouns: The Suffix Rules<\/a>: how Italian builds nouns from adjectives with -ezza, -it\u00e0, and related suffixes.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.treccani.it\/vocabolario\/issimo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Treccani: -issimo<\/a>: the institutional vocabolario entry on the suffix.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Italian bellissimo is the suffix -issimo on adjectives to mean &#8216;very, extremely&#8217;: bellissimo, buonissimo, grandissimo.
