What does the Italian suffix ''issimo'' mean?

Answer 1

The most is an English equivalent of the Italian suffix '-issimo'. The suffix also has a feminine equivalent in '-issima'. Either way, the suffix also may be translated as 'extremely, very'. The two forms are pronounced 'EES-see-moh' and 'EES-see-mah', respectively.

Answer 2

"Extremely," "most" or "very" may be English equivalents of "-issimo."

Specifically, the Italian ending represents a suffix in its masculine singular form. It is added to an adjective to add such superlative qualities as those listed above to that word. A common example is "bellissimo," from the masculine singular adjective "bello" ("beautiful, handsome"). With the suffix, the meaning becomes "extremely handsome," "gorgeous," "handsomest," "most handsome" or "very handsome."

Answer 3

Oh, dude, the Italian suffix "issimo" is like the granddaddy of all suffixes. It's basically the Italian way of saying "super" or "extremely." So, if you add "issimo" to a word like "bello" (beautiful), you get "bellissimo" (very beautiful). It's like adding a cherry on top of your gelato, you know what I mean?
