0 Hi,02br 00good question. I've never known the difference because, if I'm not mistaken, I was told there's nothing to understand. Anyway, if I had to choose, I'd say "the most" because I like it the most 05002br 00Let's wait for some better advice.

0I remember Cool Breeze or someone in this forum teaching me about the absolute superlative vs the superlative. It was a good post, however it's very advanced material so I decided to post this question to ask a more specific question. According to CB, it's very natural to him because his language makes that distinction but my language doesn't - even English hardly use the absolute superlative.
