Grammar
a beautiful girl - articles
Good day ! I'm studying English here in Russia 
..And I have a question for everybody who will probably help me ))
Is there a possibility to say, for example, to a girl: "you're A most beautiful girl" .?.. Exactly "a" I mean. Because I don't mean that she is "the most beautiful of some other girls", the best among them. It is more like a description, characteristic - just "most beautiful"
Thank you for your attention !

I think you can't say a most beautiful girl. Why don't you say you are the most beautiful girl I have ever see n to her ? which may mean that she is not the most beautiful girl in this world or in Russia because you didn't see all the girls in the world or in Russia, so it will not mean that she is the most beautiful one of all.

I doubt that a girl you say this to will start analysing your grammar. Why don't you just say 'You are the most beauti

Hello Anon,
"You are a most beautiful girl" is perfect English. "Most" in this context is not forming the superlative but merely being used synonomously with a word such as "extremely" or "very": "You are an extremely beautiful girl" for example.
"A" is needed; the sentence doesn't work without it.
