"Το μέγιστο σπίτι."

Translation: The biggest house.

[DinaKont]

το μεγαλύτερο instead of το μεγιστο is much more frequently used, so I think it should be included

[gioan777]

For the life of me I've never heard anyone using το μέγιστο in Greece in order to say "the biggest" in the context of size. A more accurate translation would be "the maximum".

[fotiosgaridis]

You're right... I added this too. Thanks!

[Stergi3]

Μέγιστος, ancient form. Not used unless you want to speak very formally

[YPSILONZ]

Unlucky choice of words... Nobody would say that in real life.

[Hafizen]

Well, unfortunately us Greek learners would say things like this because we learned them here. :/

If this isn’t the most correct way of saying “the biggest house,” then perhaps it would be better to leave it out of the upcoming Greek tree.

[Twinky1958.]

Never used in Modern day Greece....

-isto sounds like English -ist!

[AniOhevYayin]

Can we say το μεγαλύτερο σπίτι or a construction with πιο?

[venatio]

το πιο μεγάλο σπίτι

[Christian.Oxen]

the biggest home (σπιτι can be both house but also home as far as I know), would be good to add the choice I think

[fotiosgaridis]

I added this. Thanks for your comment!

[deryckchan]

Is there any difference in shade of meaning between μέγιστο and μεγαλύτερο?

[fotiosgaridis]

Big = μεγάλο

Bigger = μεγαλύτερο

Biggest = μέγιστο

[FredCairns]

In other lessons we have learned that the same word is used for the comparative and the superlative , the difference being the use of the definite article, and that what used to be the superlative now tends to be translated as "the very [adjective]". Is "biggest" a unique exception? Is the other advice wrong?
