I know in what context the word 'bellissimo' is used, but went to Google's translate tool to hopefully get a direct translation to English.

Beautifulst.

That's what it gave me. I'm not enough of a linguist to suggest outright that's not an actual word, but I have my doubts.

Beautifulst?

I still doubt it's a word; however, Google has given me a new location.

Generally speaking you only add est to words that have two syllables or less. Whats with the "st"? Am I missing the point entirely?

Bellisimo in Italian is used as a superlative. However, the true translation into Spanish would be perfecto and into English, perfect.

Synonyms for Bellisimo:

Beautiful
perfect
stupendous
etc.

Bellisimo is used to describe something of such positive achievement.

I know that. But what the hell is beautifulst? It's not even a word, at least not an English one.

Shocked Question

where are you getting "beautifulist" from? That sounds like a child that has yet to be taught.

My thoughts exactly. Let's try a larger font:

Google's translate tool gave beautifulst as the English word for bellissimo.

I'm sick as a dog today. Give me some slack. Crying or Very sad If that is what google is giving back to you, either:

A: Whomever programmed that function is trying to pull a shakespeare
B: It must exist maybe in old English??
C: It's crap (like most translation websites are.

Sorry, should have read the post before. Embarassed

I think it's A or C, because Dictionary.com usually has obscure archaic words, and beautifulst isn't there.

To tell you the truth, I think this is a lot more far-reaching than we may think. I wouldn't be surprised if this is the first link in a clandestine plot to overthrow civilization as we know it.
