Messala  +  357939 Mon, 30 Apr 07 12:17 PM Can anyone confirm to me whether 'best friend' is a superlative as in 'He was the best friend I ever had' because friend looks like it is being used as a noun here? Messala Joined on Sat, Apr 28 2007 New Member 12 Nouns

	Francesca  +  357941 Mon, 30 Apr 07 12:23 PM yes it is a superlative. Anyway 'friend' is always used as a noun simply because it is a noun and nothing else! Francesca Joined on Tue, Oct 11 2005 Contributing Member 1,786

	Kimm  +  363585 Fri, 11 May 07 07:41 PM Friend can be a verb.  Check any dictionary.  Usually marked as "archaic". Words are never always one part of speech. /km Kimm Joined on Wed, Jan 17 2007 New Member 41 Verbs
