    Sorry, I'm not too clear on what you're asking here. Are you looking for the meaning of the word "superlative"? Or are you asking for an explanation of superlatives? In English I presume?

    It's not often used, but it would mean that something is so great that superlative adjectives are insufficient to convey how great "it" is, whatever "it" may be. I suppose :confused:
