The document discusses how to form the superlative degree of adjectives in Portuguese. It provides two main ways: 1) adding "est" to short adjectives or using "most" before long adjectives and 2) for adjectives ending in "y", replace the "y" with "iest". Irregular forms are also mentioned such as "good" becoming "best" and "bad" becoming "worst". Examples are given such as "big" becoming "biggest" and "important" becoming "most important".
