Dyraste

Dyraste is a Swedish adjective meaning the most expensive. It is the superlative form of the adjective dyr, used to indicate the item with the highest price within a specific group or set.

The word is formed by attaching a superlative ending to dyr, and it is used in a similar way to other Swedish superlatives. It typically accompanies nouns to specify the peak price among options, rather than making a general statement about price alone. The form is common in everyday language, journalism, and advertising when rankings or price comparisons are discussed.

Usage examples illustrate its typical function. Det dyraste huset i staden kostar över 20 miljoner kronor. De dyraste produkterna i butiken var märkta med exklusivitet. Den dyraste bilen i testet var den röda modellen. In sentences with definite nouns, or when referring to a known set, dyraste commonly appears to mark the definitive “most expensive.”

Related forms include the general adjective dyr (expensive) and the comparative dyrare (more expensive). Dyraste is used for singular and plural nouns and often appears with determiners such as den, det, de, or with a definite plural noun.
