This one is correct. In fact, English can also do it with a suffix in this case: nolrai - noblest. The lujvo comes from {traji le ka nobli}. {traji nobli} is also possible, but more difficult to clarify. Lujvo with {zmadu} also work this way: {nolmau}, rather than {zmanobli}. Lujvo with {mutce} should also work this way, but since English doesn't help in this case, people tend to do {tcenobli} instead of the better {noltce}. mu'o mi'e xorxes _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com
