The 'Super' Suffix

Adding '-ísimo' to the end of a word is like adding 'very' or 'extremely' in English. It turns 'good' (bueno) into 'super good'.

Matching the Ending

Even though this word ends in '-o', you must change it to '-a' (buenísima) if you are talking about a feminine thing, like 'la pizza'.

Don't Double Up

Mistake:muy buenísimo

Correction: Just say 'buenísimo'. Since the word already means 'VERY good', adding 'muy' (very) before it is repetitive.
