Is it a rule to remove the definite article 'le' in Superlatives while using Possessive Adjectives?
Baptiste est mon pire ennemi.
and not 'le pire' / 'le plus mauvais' ennemi?
Or 'Il est mon meilleur ami.' - even though 'le meilleur' is not used, it is implied with Possessive Adjectives?
Aashpreet,
no, you won’t combine (follow) definite or indefinite/partitive articles with possessive adjectives or vice versa, in comparisons or any other context.
Just as in English we wouldn’t say ‘my the/a/some …. ‘, combinations of determiners in French are only possible within certain categories.
