</blockquote><p class="">The <b class="">law'/puS</b> (comparative, superlative) sentence can only
be used with qualities. <b class="">parHa'</b> is an action, not a
quality, so it can't be used in a superlative sentence like this.</p><p class="">When constructing a superlative sentence, make the second noun
just <b class="">Hoch.</b></p><p class="">Your first sentence is correct. (The pronoun <b class="">jIH</b> is
optional here, and usually dropped, but it's not wrong to use it.)
For your second sentence, maybe try using the verb <b class="">qaq</b> <i class="">be
preferable.</i> With that verb, you don't even need a
superlative sentence. If you want a superlative sentence, consider
using <b class="">QaQ</b><i class=""> be good</i> or <b class="">'ey</b><i class=""> be delicious.</i>
Either way, to make it "my" favorite, you might need the word <b class="">jIHvaD</b>
<i class="">for me.</i></p><p class="">I'll let you work it out from there.<br class="">
