What is correct grammar - most proud or proudest?

Answer 1

The correct grammar would be "proudest." This is because "proudest" is the superlative form of the adjective "proud," indicating the highest degree of pride. "Most proud" is using the comparative form, which compares two things, while "proudest" is used to compare three or more things.

Answer 2

Both are correct. Use proudest except where most proud seems better. Proudest is the English way of making the superlative, and most proud is the French way. Since the Norman Conquest of 1066, which imposed a form of French upon English speakers, using frenchified vocabulary and grammar may be seen as somehow higher class. Utter nonsense, but there you go. One rule that almost works is this: monosyllabic or native English adjectives take -er and -est, borrowed polysyllabic adjectives take "more" and "most."

Answer 3

"Proudest" Is a real word, a superlative of "proud" and both are correct. Although choosing between the two is a matter of preference, the phrase "most prideful" is also used when describing arrogance in a person.
