der kleinste VS am kleinsten ? I am quite confused with the use of the superlative in German, sometimes I see it as simply adding the "ste" at the end of the adjective, and some other times with "am" + "sten" !! Does it have to do with the position of the adjective, whether it comes before or after the noun? Thanks for answering.
