MOST When you want to say that something has the MOST of LEAST of a certain quality, you use a superlative. El más = the most (masc, singular) Los más = the most (masc, plural) El menos = the least (masc, singular) Los menos = the least (masc, plural) La más = the most (fem, singular) Las más = the most (fem, plural) La menos = the least (fem, singular) Las menos = the least (fem, plural)

Your adjective comes after the superlative, and still needs to agree with whoever and whatever you are talking about in gender and number: Luis es el más alto. Luis is the tallest. (literally, Luis is the most tall) Carmen es la más pequeña. Carmen is the smallest. (Carmen is the most small) Mercedes es la menos cansada. Mercedes is the least tired.

Mercedes es la chica más inteligente = Mercedes is the smartest girl. Oscar prepara las comidas más ricas = Oscar prepares the most delicious foods (the foods most delicious) Geraldo es el chico menos guapo del grupo = Geraldo is the less handsome boy of the group.
