Most unusual?
Hi. Is it correct to translate the part underlined, which I think is the superlative, as "very unusual"? Or should it be translated as "more unusal than any others"? Also, should it be the article "a" or "the" before the phrase "definite form"? Thank you in advance for your help.
When he went into the room, he saw an object that was most unusual, something that had a (the?) definite form.

, should it be the article "a" or "the" before the phrase "definite form"? I don't know without some context. What is the writer talking about?. Don't most objects have a definite form?
