Hi,
Does the section headed "Bear in mind that their regular superlative forms can also be used" mean that there are two ways to say "The youngest of my brothers is called Juan:
El menor de mis hermanos se llama Juan.
and
El más menor de mis hermanos se llama Juan.
Thanks
Hola Pippy
After that sentence in the lesson there are 4 boxes showing what would be their regular superlatives:
El más/menos + bueno/malo/grande/pequeño...
Those could also be used, for example:
El menor = el más pequeño
El peor = el más malo
etc
Saludos

Hi Pippy,
I think
menor = más joven = menos viejo, or
youngest = most young = least old.
The second sentence would be
El más joven / menos viejo de mis hermanos se llama Juan.
I don't know if that's idiomatic, but it's logical -- I think.
