Question

Answer

This is correct but literary.

Answer

Normally we say “the most beautiful girl” — the superlative. In literary usage, we can write “a most beautiful girl”, but it is not a superlative — it just means “a very beautiful girl”.

Answer

thank you very much cyd and jonathan i got my answer🙏

Answer

Yes, it can be used in a literary way, to create an elegant phrase.

Here is an example: "As I was walking through the centre of Milan, I spotted a most beautiful girl"

Maybe she is not THE most beautiful, but she is certainly among the beautiful!

I am 100% sure ;)
