Hello! I have a question regarding the elative degree use in Arabic.
I want to translate this sentence:
The biggest oil privatization in Saudi Arabian history is starting.
I have doubts on the superlative.
This is how I tried to write it in Arabic:
تبدأ خصخصة النفط الكبرى في تاريخ المملكة العربية السعودية
I have to decline أكبر to the feminine because خصخصة is feminine right? So it would be كبرى. Regarding the position and whether or not should I make it definite with the article ال I'm no sure.
Can anyone help me? Thank you!

Buona giornata, Emma!
I would translate the sentence as:
يتم البدء بأكبر خصخصةٍ للنفط في التاريخ السعوديّ
خصخصة النفط الكبرى means the privatisation is simply big, without an indication of being the biggest whatsoever.
I hope this helps.
